OT: Failure to post

Same here. Cause unknown.

Same here. Cause unknown.

I've seen a delay of minutes to hours on Google Groups.

That one showed up as soon as I reloaded the group. jsw

I have had the same thing happen. Most often in threads with a lot of crossposted groups, I suspect spam filters are catching them in the outbound pipeline.

I have never failed to see my responses or original posts. ...lew...

"Michael Koblic" fired this volley in news: snipped-for-privacy@news7.newsguy.com:

Yeah. It's getting REAL bad with the earthlink news servers. Sometimes I go for half a day without being able to update the article headers, and sometimes I just give up trying to post a response.

I started to see that after deja turned toast. The conversation will turn to some information I had never seen and wondering what the hell is going on, then hours or days later the post will show up upstream with a link to pictures. Must get hung up somewhere, happens once in awhile.

Teranews has dropped the occasional post , maybe one every four or five months . But overall I give them an "A" for service - especially since it's the free servers I use . -- Snag Wannabe Machinist

Complain to them. They told me that I was the only one to report it. BTW, they outsource usenet to Giganews.

news:earthlink.support.usenet is the Eathlink newsgroup that used to be monitored by their NNTP server team.

Hi Michael,

When this happens does your message appear on the server you post through (Newsguy) but does not appear on other outside news servers, or is it not showing up on your posting server?

I've had good luck posting through Newsguy over the years, and their support people should be able to find the hiccup if your posts are showing up on their servers first.

I'm not saying it's the case with your situation, but as an example some news servers won't accept messages if they're being crossposted to a large number of newsgroups, or if a post has a blank message body.

For what its worth, I think it's Earthlink messing up. (Michael BROKE it!) My posts were were not showing with Earthlink, but were showing in aioe.org.

Not without YOUR help, I didn't!

DID SO!

Six hours is not an uncommon delay for email or news posts from Google, Earthlink, and others.

You did a good job, too!

I've had a delay of up to a day reading through GG. Some posters don't show up at all.

Fortunately, I normally use a proper nntp host, so I can filter out the junior politicians.

It's probably "newsdawg" or "newsguy" at $19.95/month. Get eternal-september.org - it's free, and I've never seen it drop a post.

Good Luck! Rich
