Resuming delphi.newswhat.com

I've finally found a few hours to get back my delphi.newswhat.com site, a front-end of Delphi NNTP newsgroups, up and running.

I've finally found a few hours to get back my delphi.newswhat.com site, a front-end of Delphi NNTP newsgroups, up and running.

I've reactivated existing users (after doing some ANSI to UTF8 conversions at the file system level), enabled login, let new users create an account, and enabled posting messages from the site. Ive' clean up some of the HTML, including trimming the message text by moving from a <pre> tag to a more flexible formatting after using an XSTL recursive template for turning newlines in the XML document into <br> tags.

I'm also in the process of creating a different user interface for areas which are treated like read-only areas, including all CodeGear forums for which anonymous posting has been disabled, so it won't be possible to post to from my site (unless their forum policy changes). Still, you can browse CodeGear areas and post to many third party sites.

Sooner or later I'll also integrate some of the AJAX capabilities of my other site, dev.newswhat.com, which I don't know if I'll keep running... or just split to specific sites by topic.

 Take a look at the forums/newsgroup setup at
news.lugnet.com (Lego User Group Network)... I've
always been amazed at their web frontend to NNTP
groups. It really adds some value to the web side. You
feel both interfaces are first class citizens with
their pros and cons where you get to pick your best fit.

Bonjour Marco,

It seems that components4developers forums have not
been updated for a while... A lot of messages are missing.

Thanks anyway
