I just haven't used an email client in a very long time. I needed to
access newsgroups again, so I tried Thunderbird. It was difficult to
make it work.
Shouldn't be. It is like setting up an email account except the incoming
server is not a POP server but a NNTP server. The wizard steps you
through the process but your have to know what your NNTP server is, if
your ATT Yahoo includes server if not there are several others free and
subscription out there.
BTW is is the first reply button "Reply to message" you want when using
Thunderbird or other Mozilla products when replying to a newsgroup.
The reply all would email the individual as well as the group which you
should not do.
I should have tried Mozilla's online newsgroup first, but
instead talked to support at ATT Yahoo for a couple hours. Finally they
said they don't support Thunderbird.
If they have access to NNTP server it shouldn't matter what software you
are using. Most times that statement translate "We only give our tech
support a cheat-sheet that describes the setup MS software"
It was just fun seeing the same names here. And ironic, since the only
term I could think of to describe what I found (and need help with) on a
couple websites is "layer". Then the first post I saw here was about a
"layer." Struck me as funny. Especially the comment about a cake.
If the group's topic was automotive repair and someone in posting
conveys that they are student and their curriculum included carburetors,
coils and points and nothing about fuel injection computerized
ignitions, etc (and the course is *not* for antique vehicles) could you
imagine the response? It is amazing the rubbish that is being taught for
"web design" in colleges and universities. I think the response
reflects our dismay.
I don't know what it's called. Here's the site:
http://www.gensler.com.
Got a protracted "loading..." message and bailed.
They just launched their new site & I'm curious how they made the
semi-transparent blocks that link. They appear to float atop the page.
Found something similar here:
http://www.cannondesign.com I think it's a
combination of FLASH and javascript. Anyone know, not how to do it, but
what it's called?
A blank beige screen then a progress bar for each link....I ave a word
for it but it would offend Travis. It's called Flash.
