Hi all --
Anyone else having a torrid time with the Groups beta?
I find it very fast & adaptable as a reader, but it's
proving a pig to post from ... or I'm in deep finger
trouble (more likely).
I use the digest, & cannot post. I hit reply, up pops
nice little text entry box, type response, preview, &
then send. Get message to say message posted, but it
never appears..... I've always had problems with
posting to this list, but I'm now frozen out!
Proof will be to see if this test gets through from
the old (pre-beta) interface,

Well, there's a funny thing ..... mail posted
almost immediately from non-beta interface.
(BTW, not from the digest, but from ordinary
listing).
Trying to send this reply from the beta......
Colin
Reply from Beta posted instantly .... Couldn't
get preview screen up. Error message stated
"Info missing or incorrect". Just hit send a
second time with no change, & it went thru' OK.
Summat not quite reet ....

Message 3 replicated behaviour of Message 2 exactly.
Same error message, hitting "post" again worked.
I'll flag this with Google, but would appreciate any
feedback from others if they are having problems.
Thanks, Colin

Why bother with an unreliable web interface when there are many
excellent and cheap (even free) newsreaders out there and free
newservers?
Even OLE (spit) does news reasonably well and news.individual.net as a
server is free, fast and reliable. I did think it was dropping posts
recently but then I looked in my killfile...
