No NNTP??? :(

Adobe may feel they don't have the resources to apply to it at this point. Hard to argue with as we don't know the resource implications and availability.

So you are speculating that it's possible, but you admit that Adobe doesn't want to implement it even IF they could. Newsreader users are out of luck. Stop trying to pretend otherwise, and we can let it rest.

It requires setting up a NNTP server and doing all kinds of whatever to link the two together. I don't know the technicalities of how it's done but I do know that it possible. Time will tell if Adobe (not John) becomes willing to do it. At this point, not.

I would speculate pretty confidently that it's speculation.

Do you know this for a fact or is it just speculation?

I don't think formatting comes into consideration when we're talking about NNTP, Ann - NNTP, in my limited understanding, is a matter of text content only.

I suggest that you DON'T get it "up and running" until you have cleaned-up the format not unless you want to lose most of your regular contributors.

It can be added in later... it won't be forgotten because the people that it is important to won't let it be. Can we let that part rest for now and concentrate on getting it up and running, then start tweaking it? And, believe me.... I've got my own list also!!

NNTP is a huge loss. From what I've seen in various discussions on this, the two objections are 1) poor trimming of autoquotes from those replying via NNTP and 2) the general disinterest in Adobe hosting the NNTP server that the new forum software *has a gateway* to support.

Both of those seem silly for the amount of objection to dropping NNTP. The first could be handled by a simple request to the NNTP responders (I almost always trim my posts, but do forget on occasion). And, heck, I'll setup an NNTP server in our datacenter if Adobe can't handle it.

I definitely understand the advantages to web forums with all the glitz, but for those trying to respond to as many posts as possible in the short time we may have available, I've yet to see a web interface anywhere near as efficient as NNTP.

second that, Chris.
