Posting problems from beta

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......

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

Ask President Bill Clinton, I seem to recall he had a novel cigar holder ...........

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...
