Hello.

I go to digitalmars to read digitalmars.D.learn newsgroup, but I
have to click the http link.  The http interface is kind of
awkward.  I'd like to try the newsgroup link.

But, I don't know how to use it.  How do I?  Is there a client I
can download and use for free that you recommend?  I did a search
and found a few usenet readers.  Can I use that?  I'd like to give
it a try, but these days, I don't know if I can trust the sites.

Anyways, thanks!

Pretty much any email client. (That is, *real* email clients, not that 
webmail junk.) I use Outlook Express ("Windows Mail" in the Mac-alike 
versions of Windows). Many people here use Thunderbird. And I'm told that 
Opera has a built-in NG client that some people like too.

If you do want to use a web interface, The Mail Archive ( 
http://www.mail-archive.com/ ) is fantastic. But it's read-only; you can't 
post through it.

I guess I don't know how to setup my outlook client to use the news
link?  When I click the news link.  Nothing happens.  So, I tried
downloading this 'seamonkey' newsreader.  When I installed it, and
clicked the d-learning news link, a browser appears,but I don't
have any postings.

Anyways, I am using windows 7, if that helps.

thanks.

I don't have access to a Win7 machine ATM, but on both XP and Vista, you can 
do:

Tools -> Accounts. There will be a button for "Add". Click that and then you 
can choose "News". And just fill in all the info. The (NNTP) server is 
"news.digitalmars.com", and it doesn't take a login.

Then you should see the news server in the big tree on the left side of the 
main window. You can choose which groups to subscribe to (digitalmars.D, 
digitalmars.D.learn, etc.). When you're subscribes to one, you can go to it 
and click the "Headers" button to check for messages (at least that's what 
it is in on XP). Downloading the headers might take awhile the first time.

 So, I tried
 downloading this 'seamonkey' newsreader.  When I installed it, and
 clicked the d-learning news link, a browser appears,but I don't
 have any postings.

I don't know anything about seamonkey :/

 Anyways, I am using windows 7, if that helps.

And you'll want to remember to reply with "Reply Group", not "Reply". If you 
do the plain "Reply" it'll just send an email to that person, not to the 
newsgroup. I still hit the wrong button now and then.

Directions look very promising.  My outlook complains about
"problem connecting to the server".  So, when I tried to ping the
ip address of news.digitalmars.com, all requests time out.

So is it just that the server is down?

by the way, thanks for helping me out!!

Hey Nick.

I found this:



This seems to work fine.  I think I'll use this for surfing D.learn.  Thanks
for your time!

A lot of people have had a lot of trouble with that one. But if it works for 
you, then great.
