This is only a test

This is a test of the Delta Update Broadcast System (DUBS)

This is only a test

Had this been an actual Delta Update Broadcast you would have been informed
of the Delta Update version and/or instructed on how to obtain it.

This was only a Test.

:-P

===========================
Fort those of you not from the US the above was intended to be a humorous
paraphrase of our Emergency Broadcast System, which we hear on all stations
at sometime during the month :P

Due to the recent problem with seeing posts I want to see if this one goes
thru, and how long it takes.

1. I am posting this via the HTML view of the Group, using Authentication,
from Firefox.
2. I want to see if and when it appears on the site (HTML)
3. I want to see if and when it appears in my newsgroup reader (NNTP)
Thunderbird.

The time is now 08:07pm CDT USA

?:-)

Okay, took about a minute to show up on the HTML view ...
and...
Took about 3 minutes to be readable in TB.

Maybe things are fixed ?

?:-)

Could someone test posting using a newsgroup (NNTP) program Thunderbird,
Outlook, Outlook express, whatever you've got, and note what you used and the
time you hit send (converting to CDT USA, or your difference from GMT/UTC),
Thanks

?:-)

@ BillS and RandyK

It is now 9:00 CDT USA
Both of your NNTP posts from about 25-30 minutes ago have shown up in in
Thunderbird but not in the Web view.

Mine are the only ones showing in Web View.

It would "seem" that NNTP posts are not being picked up by the server for
the Web :-( More testing needed I guess.

Bill, a couple of your posts from yesterday still have not shown up in the
web view yet.

Strange,

Tim

It would appear one if not more of several things -
The Web View is out of Synch or just not working correctly.
( Opinion ) I never liked the Web View myself, but that's just me.

Time to subscribe via NNTP, while this NG is still here.

Best of luck !
 
Randy,

I think you are missing the point
I HAVE access BOTH ways already.
I Read in NNTP (for filtering and such) and Post after Authenticating in the
Web Viewer, I have for years.

It is others that I am concerned about, those who use the web viewer and are
not aware that they are not seeing NNTP posts.

It took about one minute to see my post make the round trip. All
other NNTP servers take a great deal less time usually.
 
I'll see if I can find somebody who knows how to get this information to the
right folks now.
 
At this point is seems safe to say that the following appears to be true:

Posts made using the Web Interface appear in the Web Interface and NNTP.

Posts made using NNTP (Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail Reader, and the like)
appear in NNTP readers But NOT in the Web Interface.

With Bill on the case I hope it will be fixed soon

Hello Tim:

Well that's one possible reason why NNTP replies to web posters with
problems are frequently un-acknowledged. It also probably drives the
web posters away in disgust.

It's also a bit discouraging for us as NNTP posters to sometimes
research a trouble and then send our well thought out replies to
/dev/null. Pity.

Thank you for your good research Tim.

God speed Bill.
