Electronic Newsgroups

What/when is this? John

Electronic Newsgroups
This is an archive of electronics related newsgroups. Lots of relavant information! Never

just got it working. It's now starting to feed the newsgroups. It is only supposed to be an archive for referencing.

I looked at a few of the postings and saw very few useful answers. For example, there is a question effectively asking for the schematic of an RC servo. The reply was to search google.

Most of the posters are "guests" so dialog is not likely, it would seem.

Finally, it has only been up for about 1 day and is already 3 pages. Without an index or something it will be hopeless to try to find something. Perhaps more significant, will a search on the regular forum turn up a zillion hits to this sub-forum that cannot be easily weeded out?

BTW, I do like the idea of an archive for good and/or standard references, but suspect something like that would need active moderating.

Yeah maybe I should put Beta next to the title..

It's just being tested at the moment but Ill try to at least get names attached to the posts..

At the moment the forum is being flooded with newsgroup postings. I normally click on new posts but this has now become useless. Is there anyway to exclude the newsgroups forum from the new posts list.

Its just hopeless trying to view new posts with this newsgroups feature.

Is it possible to go back to the 'old' system.?

EDIT: you cant' even get rid of these damned posts even by using 'mark posts as read'

I'm not happy with this situation

I agree. I do not see much value in it.

Ditto - nearly had a hear attack when I clicked on the button and found 500 new posts.

There is a way in VB of excluding certain forums from displaying on the new posts - can you turn that on pleeeeeeeeeeease.
