Larry,
When I try to post to multiple groups with a followup-to pointed here to -discussions, the server
prompts me for a login, but I don't have a login. Even when I exclude those groups that I
think might be read-only (announcements and faq), it still prompts me for a login (not only
that, but once it's done that once, I can't even read newsgroups without it prompting me to
log in - I have to restart Thunderbird).
So, below is what I propose be posted to all groups. Perhaps you could put on your admin hat
and post it to all the groups?
Thanks,
Liz
PROPOSED ANNOUNCEMENT:
Subject: Paradox Newsgroup Replacement
All,
Eventually the pnews.thedbcommunity.com server will go read-only and then be shut down entirely.
We have decided to replace it with a google group:
https://groups.google.com/g/thedbcommunity
I recommend visiting there now to try it out before there's no alternative so that we can resolve
any issues now. You should be able to start new "Conversations" (though no one's tried) and
can reply to the current "Welcome..." conversation.
(Please only reply to the "Followup-To" group: pnews.paradox-discussions.)
Thanks,
Liz
