We're working on new ways to access the Adobe User to User Forums.
Right now the primary way to access the forums is via the web using an HTTP interface. But it is also possible to access the forums as newsgroups (NNTP).
adobeforums were on my isp's news groups until 9/2/04. While the group is still there it is only the postings outside of the forums. It would seem the forums are no longer posting to other news groups ? Anyone else noticed this ? Thanks Steve Eyrse
Steve, I checked my NR access via Outlook Express 6 and had no difficulty<br />accessing all messages in this forum. If this is received, it will say that<br />there is not difficulty posting from there either.<br /><br />You might need to check further with your isp. I can pretty much guarantee<br />that we would have heard something much sooner if it was a widespread<br />problem.<br /><br /><Steven_Eyrse@adobeforums.com> wrote in message<br />news:ef406ea.74@webx.la2eafNXanI...<br />> adobeforums were on my isp's news groups until 9/2/04.

What I expected was to click on the Photoshop Win word and be teleported to a display of all the message headers available for reading, and by clicking on a message or thread, I should be able to read it. Instead I get every thing BUT the above, and it is making my blood pressure do some very unhealthy things.
Your set up appears to be designed to keep people out, so that if some one is an infrequent user than you just end up looping back on virtual dead ends.
Your post seems to say that nobody comes here because it is so popular.
Are you using a web interface or a newsreader?
If a newsreader, how much experience do you have with using one? I have never been happy (here and anywhere) with newsreaders for precisely the reason you give but my reaction is to use the web interface which behaves precisely the way you describe.
What Ricardo expects is just what I see when getting in directly through my browser. I have had never used a newsreader, so I don't know what one can expect there.

Nix the Newsgroup, this way is just right. if the MacroMedia People don't screw it up again.
My ISP although has a Newsgroup server and capable of carrying newsgroups, they have no way of getting a news feed because the line they get from Sprint/Embarq when their news feed server blew up they didn't replace.
And if it propagated to Usenet, you open yourself up to Spam.
The Mozilla Newsgroups have been clogged with spam for X-rated stuff lately because they use Giganews and gmails servers. Giganews and Gmail
refuses to do any thing about it.
IF you do NNTP the only way to make it practical is use a
Secure Server. Then and only then can you control the Spam.
In other words switch to "NNTP" is a Total Dumb xxx idea.

These forums are on their own server. As was already, said point your
newsreader to adobeforums.com and use your existing Id and password. The
amount of spam that gets through is exactly the same as in the web version.
If you try using your ISP's news server then you would have the problems
that pjonesCEt seems to have.

how do you manage not to have X-rated Spam and spam sell certain Products, and Drugs and such not, get on the sever. Unless you have set up on a Secure Server.
AS for My ISP
I Use a DSL connection, and besides the DSL modem, they provided a Router/Switch so That whe if am Pinged I appear as in stealth mode.
So the spam is not coming from MY Connection to my ISP but comes in through NNTP news post or emails sent to my email address.
I have filter setup both at my ISP and through my use of SeaMonkey/Thunderbird. But it still comes in to all of the Newsgroups in some form or another and varying quantities on all the newsgroups I read. I've never read an spam of any type through the web interface.
These forums are on their own server. It requires an id and a password
to be able to acess it.
You need to get said Id and password throught the web version. This is a
lot of effort to go through for a spammer, then our forum hosts will be
there to clean up the few that get through.

Adobe has it's own newserver, the posts that come throught on the news
server are exactly the same as the ones that come through on the web
servers. Our experiences can't be opposite, because we get the exact
same posts (although I do have the ability to block posts from certain
users)

My experience when using my ISP's news server (not Adobe's) was that it was entirely possible to read, post and reply to the Adobe forums there without having to log in. Such posts were visible to all news readers but were never added to the forums in the web interface. Maybe pjones is experiencing that?
When I was using my ISP's servers instead of Adobe's, it was because at that particular time trying to access the forum discussions through the Adobe servers was like slugging through molasses.
Also, what is picked up by Google archives includes all the posts and even entire discussions posted through other servers and which we never see on the web or through the Adobe news servers.
