Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo / May 2007Why all the off-topic posts?
Why all the off-topic posts? > Why all the off-topic posts? What off-topic posts? I don't see any off-topic posts. Oh, wait, that is because I set my newsreader to ignore any post that is cross-posted to more than two ng's. :D They are trolls that originally came here because a regular from here was 'fighting' with them in other ng's and either forgot to clear this one or they googled to see that he posted here too. Doesn't matter now since they are here even tho that particular regular is not posting here anymore. There should be a way or three for you to be able to block them. Either killfile them (not a long term solution for nym changers), or tell your reader to ignore posts that include certain ng's (check the trolls headers, you should soon see which I mean), or just ignore anything going to 3 or more groups.

Unfortunately OE doesn't let you ignore a particular NG unless you subscribe to it :( Which is really damn stupid IMO. Signature-- * I always hope for the best. Experience, unfortunately, has taught me to expect the worst.

And then it doesn't impliment the rule anyway!

I make all kinds of filters for regular email, and they all work fine. But not in NG's Jim > That's the problem I'm having with T-bird. No rule I make does anything > in newsgroups.

Have you sent complaints / suggestions to them? From what I understand, they try to 'fix' things fairly quickly if/when they are brought to their (Mozilla developers) attention. SignatureOn the 8th day God said: "Ok Murphy, now you take over." > Unfortunately OE doesn't let you ignore a particular NG unless you > subscribe to it :( Which is really damn stupid IMO. And why is someone that's nym is calling the head of MS evil, using OE in the first / middle / last place? There are many, many (better) alternative newsreader programs, quite a few are free too.

It's simple and straightforward. I did try Agent once but I couldn't get along with it. I use Windows too despite it sucking like a black hole, because it's the only OS that'll run all my games natively.

This is the main reason I have not gone to some flavor of linux, or even a Mac. > > (As for my nick, I use it nowadays just because I always have <g> It's > > nearly 10 years old now and if I changed it nobody would recognise me > > ;) > > LOL) Understood about the nick, but there are *many* progs, not just Agent. See below. > The same here, except that I tried Firefox and I just didn't like it as > well as OE. Err... Firefox is a browser, I hope you meant Thunderbird, their (Mozilla's) e-mail and newsgroup program? Thunderbird has been updated quite a bit lately, it may be worth a second (or first for EB) look.

It's been so long that Firefox was the only thing I could think of at the time. And I do have to say that it's been about 10 years since I've looked at it. Maybe I'll give it another try. wizofwas > > > > I'm used to OE, I've been using it for years and years.

I only use Firefox, it's really got better heaps in the last few years and has these great 'plug-ins' like AdBlockPlus that removes 90% of the ads in webpages with zero input from user. Still stuck on OE though. :-( SignatureShaun. > I wouldn't use IE if you paid me.

As you can't actually remove IE from Windows anyway (without third-party software) that's not a problem, it's always there. SignatureShaun. |
