Anyone else using BT's news server? It's normally pretty good, but in the last few days it's been missing lots of posts - some threads about 1 in 2, so I can only reconstruct a conversation from the bits left unsnipped in the remaining posts ;-) Anyone else had problems?
Had this happen to me a few years ago now, so it's obviously something they do every now and again. I got so fed up with it that I went and used the famous free German news server which I can highly recommend. You register first, and they will accept ( snipped-for-privacy@privacy.net) as your email address, they send you the passwords etc, then you configure your OE6 which I see you use. Full explanation given on their site on how to do it (in English!) :-)
pleased to hear that. Thought it was just me! I would agree though, normally quite good.
I was putting it down to not logging on every day and some of the messages had expired quickly as I have been doing a lot of decorating recently, and this is the third or fourth time I have sat down in front of the PC in 2 weeks.
Still SWMBO now has a lounge, we just have to choose a carpet. I'm not allowed to choose the table though. I have an old V8 engine block which I was going to clean up in the diptank at work and then install in the lounge with a sheet of toughened safety glass over the top, then you would be able to still see the bores and pistons through the glass. I thought it would make an interesting talking point, but she insists that I am not allowed any more engines in the lounge..... Shame really because it would be a nicer job to grind in the valves sat on the sofa watching the TV......
Just the kitchen to finish and I can begin looking for a new toy!
