I got my newsreader, Outlook Express, to the point where I can read messages. However, I can't post.
The error message is
Posting is not allowed to the newsgroup 'infragistics.web_sites'. Please remove 'infragistics.web_sites' from your newsgroups line.
Of course, if you can get the new web forum tuned up to where it responds a lot faster, there would no longer be a reason to use a newsreader.
sounds like you haven't set the newsgroup reader to login using your member id and password.
See the post in this forum titled "Are new forums available to NewsReaders? " and the FAQ that it points to.
Hopefully that information will help you solve the problem
Regarding posting --
I followed the instructions. I also tried forums.infragistics.com, with the same result.
It took more than 5 seconds for the page to compose this message to come up. Also, with the old newsgroups setup, I was able to post attachments.
Aside from these issues, the Community Server setup is a great improvement.
