Dogfooding my NNTP Plugin

Wednesday, March 24, 2004

Yesterday & Today I decided to start being more proactive in newsgroups, and as such I wanted to start dogfooding my NNTP NG Posting Plugin. I definately have to say that reading & responding to newsgroup postings is extremely easy. Since I really never posted to newsgroups, I never really used it, I just developed it because there was a need in the community for it. However, after using it several times, I'm definately stoked about it...and I would have to say that dogfooding is always a good idea on whatever application you're using. Maybe I'll find something I like or don't like about it that I can change. Gotta love it.

Now, to find out how to add my signature for replies...

Thanks, I've got it fixed now.

I would like to be able to use the plug-in but for some reason it doesn't want to post to the server but it does show up in Outlook as being posted .. I think maybe I have a setting wrong somewhere.

The easiest way I found out, was to just create a new signature. Then, when your responding go to "Insert" -> "Signature" and then choose which one you want. (BTW - I'm at home and don't have sigs setup, however I do at work, and it works great). Its an extra step, but it at least works & saves time from writing my sigs each time.
