Frequently Asked Questions About Newsgroups

Below is a brief description of some of the questions you may have about our newsgroups.

Can I put html tags anywhere in my posts?

No. You can not use HTML tags in any field except the body of the message. We have set the script so that you can use html in the body of your message.

Why are there colons in the message when I try to post a followup?

Colons appear in the message dialog box when you try to followup up on a message to indicate that those lines are quoting the previous document. When posting a reply to someone's message, we have set it up so that you can see the previous message and can write your respond in and around the old message. If you don't want the original message to appear ... just delete it.

Why didn't my post show up?

Your post most likely did not show up, because your browser did not reload the page, it simply pulled it out of cache. Please return to the newsgroup page and reload reload your browser and it should then appear.

Where can I get the scripts for this program?

The original code for this script was in Perl and created by Matt Wright. They are free to anyone who wishes to use them and you can get them as well as other scripts at: http://worldwidemart.com/scripts/. Enjoy!
