Ok I posted a message just a few minutes ago. I has sorta given up, not having seen any messages and the WL sysop telling me the reason was not traffic.

hmm worldlink hub worldgroupware.com is online, i think they push that to the gcomm.com domain which is down at the moment.

reason #2 why we need our own

Posted: **Wed Jun 11, 2008 1:31 am**

Agreed

Rick has the code for it ... but yeah we need one for the community Worldgroupware's server is always down and so is Gcomm.com

i found the code for the worldlink video server but not the actual client software for the chatlink server itself.

could always go back to chatlink, LOL

Posted: **Wed Jun 11, 2008 1:43 am**

hehe the Worldlink system would work the best unless we want to start over from scratch and I don't think we really want to do that, if for no other reason then the time it would take

Posted: **Wed Jun 11, 2008 2:23 am**

I haven't been able to connect for a couple of days. Maybe another system should be considered.

Posted: **Wed Jun 11, 2008 2:29 am**

The Worldlink system is the most resent network code and we have access to it so Worldlink would be our best bet just not with Worldgroupware

With a new server we would have a system to start building the community with a new Link and Forum system.

It will all come together soon you can count on it

Posted: **Wed Jun 11, 2008 2:41 am**

Well worldlink.worldgroupware.com is back online but no messages transmitted so the best I can tell is they still have the configuration fubared and it is a dead network for now

As dspain said another reason to put up a new one

How much bandwidth do you think the network would take up? I'm just wondering as I have a VPS but can't DOS the node ...

Posted: **Wed Jun 11, 2008 3:04 am**

Not sure on the bandwidth .... but I have offered to host a Worldlink server on a OC3 in Washington, DC

Hopefully, someone takes you up on it as it's a needed feature. I would love to see network mail working again.

mostly from other bored sysops like me...

I have never had a problem connecting to Worldlink, I just have never received any forum (or email) messages.

If someone gives me their WG mail and wg domain, I'll try sending them a worldlink email.

Posted: **Wed Jun 11, 2008 10:25 pm**

Give it a shot here is my info

sysop@worldgroup.gcommlive.com and the domain is worldgroup.gcommlive.com

Ok, sent a message 2148; 6/11/08.

my address is Sysop@informationware.com

I will try to keep connecting everyday and see if I pickup an answer (or even delivered my message).

Posted: **Thu Jun 12, 2008 6:11 am**

I got two messages both came in as Internet emails, meaning the return address was IN:email@domain.com. So I guess my question is how was this sent via Worldlink?

BTW Thanks for all the help with this testing Toyduck

Just got a post in the Worldlink forum user.sysop from Toyduck and I have sent back a response...so it looks like its working again

They are coming thru to my bbs. Hopefully we can more sysops to config the forums. Is their a way to automatically add them? Mainly the user created ones.

user.BeoDude
user.blueice
user.brazil
user.bre
user.c21.commercial
user.caraudio
user.cdc
user.Cellular.Phones
user.Chat

to name a few.

I was also chating with a wg2 sysop the other day and he was curious if their is a WorldLink for wg2.

Interesting; I have SMTP and POP3 disabled on my system, don't use it at all. I sent two messages becasuse I didn't think the first one went through, but used the WL: prefix for Worldlink.

It also took long enough for the forum message, maybe it's just slooooow...?

But if post a list of forums somewhere, I'd be happy to enter them on my system, we might actually see some messages if we were all using the same forums, no?

These are the ones I have setup so far;

Do you have a quick start guide to setting up WL forums?

I know, that sounds weird but I've been out of touch with such things over the last few years.

Yea, I actually found it just after posting and got forums working to my liking. Maybe I can create a mod to help add a tagline to the bottom of WL messages for better advertising options

Provided that I don't keep making simple mistakes in my dev as I've been having a heck of a time to get anything to work when compared to the skeleton module.

The kind of problem where I need to learn how to put semi-colons after my int statements so I don't pull my hair out...LOL

Yea, a sig mod would be cool. I'll add it to the largely growing list of things I have to write. I'm writing a simple mod right now just to hone my skills since it's been a LONG time.

That would be alot easier if we can get them auto update or automatically generate the formums conected to WL.

Ok i have WL up and now connected.
Now to get Ml working(mail link),mail link is the one with the forums not worldlink.
WL lets you talk to other people on other boards through your wl tele channel.
Mail link has a big list of foums that you setup so you can share your forum messages with other boards,I haven't had a message from this in a long time.Marc at dialsoft was the hub i used to have but I think he has stopped being the hub.
How to be the ML hub would be a good question to be answered.

that means dialsoft probably owns the maillink software, anyone interested drop him a line see whats up.

Posted: **Mon Jun 16, 2008 1:51 am**

I just want to correct myself,WL does have message forums but I always used the ML ones,I have them attached to my forums.
You can get ML(Mail LinK)from marc for free.

yeah i was referring to the hub software to act as a hub.
i have a fidonet hub running here at the house, that hubs fidonet, doornet, and dds file distribution echoes, if i had the room i'd put a hub up.

Posted: **Mon Jun 16, 2008 2:43 am**

I figured out how to attach one of my local forums to one of the WL forums,now to see if my message will go.
It's not an easy thing to do.....

Posted: **Mon Jun 16, 2008 2:46 am**

What WL forum did you post in? I will check on my end and respond

Posted: **Mon Jun 16, 2008 1:20 pm**

I posted to the user.Chat forum.

Posted: **Mon Jun 16, 2008 2:08 pm**

Ok I have added the WL forum to my system and sent a test message we will see what happens

keep me posted.

Posted: **Tue Jun 17, 2008 2:30 am**

I just checked and my WL is connected but no messages.
I will try another message
