OT: NNTP Bridge

S

SC Tom

Flightless Bird
Since these newsgroups are going away, I thought I'd try the Answers and
Forum bridges for use in OE6. I've got it all set up, and it runs well, at
least as fast as my ISP's and Microsoft's newsgroups.
My question is, is there any way to start up and log into the NNTP servers
automatically, without having to go through the Start, Sign-in, then
minimize it to the notification area? Since they are separate bridges, it
really is somewhat of a PITA to go through each day. I know, I know, it
doesn't take much time, but it IS annoying to have to go through the ritual
every day.
TIA!

This bridge is all inclusive and quicker to sign into. Click the icon.
Click the sign-in button. All done. Minimizes by itself.

I second Bruce's suggestion. I've found that bridge to be much less
problematic (no egregiously false counts of unread "posts," no
disconnects between post headers and contents, etc.) than the Microsoft
offering. And the one bridge connects to multiple "communities."

Thanks to both the Bruce's :) I installed it and it seems to work just
fine. The only change (so far) that I had to make was to make the port for
the Answers forum 119 instead of 120 (the separate bridges required 119 and
120).
Thanks again!

That link gets me (after I log in):

"Page Not Found

to view it.

If you believe you have reached this page in error, click the Help link at
the top of the page to report the issue and include this ID in your e-mail:

Not much of a welcome ;-) I had searched Connect before I posted my
question, and didn't come up with a solution I was looking for. The
Community bridge seems to work fine, other than I have to manually exit it
before shutting down or I get an "in use" error.

You might want to give this NNTP bridge a try at:

http://communitybridge.codeplex.com/

This one seems to work better than the one offered by Microsoft, plus you
only need just one program running for all of the forums vs. two.

One annoyance that I have with it is that it has no idea if I've ever posted
or replied to a post. It'll find me if I post, but not any previous ones. I
post from two different machines with different OS's and news clients and it
can't "see" the posts from each other. I might have to reinstall the Answers
bridge just to test that out, but I don't recall that I had this problem
with it.

The bridge isn't perfect for sure. Myself, I use it more for notification
and do the actual replying via the Website. Any post I didn't reply to, I
delete. I also mark posts I replied to as watched. Ctrl+H works to toggle
Show Replies To My Messages on and off.

When I use CTRL+H, it shows nothing. I didn't think of marking a post as
Watched. I'll try that and see if it shows on my other PC.

Re: NNTP Bridge

I know this thread is kinda old, but I thought I'd ask if any of you have
had a problem with the community bridge not connecting with the following
error:

503 program fault - command not performed
System.ServiceModel.FaultException: Passport Header Not Found

Configuration:
Account: MS Forums
Server: 127.0.0.1
Protocol: NNTP
Port: 119
Secure(SSL): 0
Error Number: 503
Code: 800ccca4

The only way to correct it is to exit, then restart the bridge. It has only
happened in the Answers forum, never in the Technet forums (so far).

Thanks for any insight you may have!

I am seeing the same thing here too, the only difference is I am using
port 120 as Hamster is running using port 119.

I don't know if what I did fixed it for me, or if something has changed on
their end, but I haven't gotten the error message in a couple of days now.
All I did was change my Sync Settings to Headers Only. Before it was set to
All Messages. I normally have it set to Headers Only, but I guess the
default was All Messages, and I didn't check to change it. No errors since
then (KOW!).

It was a problem at the Microsoft end as it was causing problems with
their NNTP bridge programmes too.
