God no. Google groups is a putrid turd.




Just use emails, rather than the web interface. ;)

But really, we just need the NG server to be fixed. Nothin' wrong with 
good ol' NNTP.

Things are moving, but to be honest they're moving a lot slower than I'd 
like.

I prefer to use native apps like Paulo.

Andrei, any news regarding the news server?


Thx, fil

Hi,

Not sure who looks after the news server that hosts the relevant D
newsgroups, but over the last few weeks, the amount of "high load"
messages has been increasing at a steady rate, to an extend that it
is becoming a real nuisance to read the newsgroups via a classic
newsreader like thunderbird (hence using the web forum interface for
this message).

Can someone please change the settings on the news server to solve
this (or move to another server) ?

Many thanks,

There was a post from Andrei saying that they were looking into it,
but I feel your pain.

Somehow the web interface appears to be more resilient to the post
failures, but my Thunderbird and Windows Live Email keep complaining
all the time. :(

Which is somehow ironic, since I prefer native applications to web
based ones.
