It appears that the newserver is down. I can't get to it from Australia and I've be trying for 6 hours so far.

| I can't access either. Yesterday early in the morning (over 24 hours ago) was the last time I could access it. |

You're not alone.
Well, you could just start slinging threads around here in the meantime. You have at least this many people watching the site. 
... I'm about ready to do the same myself.

Agreed.. I made a suggestion to have a PHPbb setup for D - instead of the newsgroups - but aparently some of the "old-timer's" like the newsgroups better.. I think they are very slow and difficult to work with myself.. But - where they people are matters more than the quality - look at microsoft
Anyhoo - I will continue to use these forums for what I would have posted there indeed..
Perhaps this is a good chance for DSource to get some more regulars..
Thanks,

Depends on your software. With a good news reader (which MS doesn't have) it is a lots easier than slow HTML access. I use 40tude Dialog but Opera is good too.

I was using Thunerbird for a while.. It was pretty good - but I think its too much like outlook - which is HORRIBLE..
Perhaps I should try another.. Or, we can use the Google newsgroup I started a while back - that most nobody knows about...
