Worldlink Forums Setup

Worldlink Forums Setup
As stated previously, I got worldlink itself setup and have figured out how to add the echo mail to the forums, but it doesn't appear to be working. I had temp given up setting up nntp stuff, because you need a news server like dnews supposedly, but the worldlink forums are suppose to work without that right?
Basically, if I write a message in the forums, I don't see any proof of it leaving the bbs. All I can see from the audi trail is "WL GET-MESSAGE START - Starting download of messages from hub" "WL GET-MESSAGE DONE - Byes: 0, Msgs: 0 (0e/0f), Files: 0"
The board doesn't appear to be receiving or sending out any thing. Do I need to contact worldgroupware and sign up to the forums in order to receive and send messages, or am i missing some configuration options or what.
The forums i'm trying to receive are:
user.emulation
user.rose
user.xbox
user.ufo
user.sports.football
user.pets.dogs
user.pets.cats
user.poetry
user.programming
user.bbs.ads
When I go to the /wl-forum-manager page, all of those newsgroups have a blue and a green diamond to the left of each group.
Thanks

It's on hold while Randy finishes a business transaction relating to his company that takes priority. After that, we'll have several servers at our disposal to properly architect this.The Storm wrote:How is this going?Questman wrote:I'm not 100% sure but I don't think worldgroupware.com has worldlink setup properly.. Randy at High Society mentioned problems with it.
When I get some time - and I don't have much at the moment - I will try to setup a Worldlink server as an alternative.
Re: Worldlink Forums Setup
No, I never got it to work, unfortunately, and have finally taken out my last worldlink forum from the board.

Re: Worldlink Forums Setup
I received an answer from Don Barr at Worldgroupware, it seems that no one is using the message bases. I went over my connection paramaters as Barr suggested, to make sure, and it does seem like I'm connecting, I was even showing a connection/transfer rate...but visits to a few of the boards showed inactive forums. All the users I found were in the games. Anyway, I sent a couple of test messgages again, and will see.Malakai wrote:No, I never got it to work, unfortunately, and have finally taken out my last worldlink forum from the board.

Re: Worldlink Forums Setup
Well, I logged on to the boards connecting to WG, and checked with Worldgroupware, it seems that no one is echoing any forums, everwhere I went there was no usage in the message bases..except HS, but I couldn't tell if any of those were being echoed.Malakai wrote:No, I never got it to work, unfortunately, and have finally taken out my last worldlink forum from the board.
