digitalmars.D - Problem posting replies on forum?

Hello!

I'm seeing some issues when posting replies to posts. The captcha 
doesn't seem to appear when clicking "send" directly, but does 
appear when clicking "save and preview" first. Upon solving the 
captcha, sometimes the page gets stuck in a loop with "sending 
message to server" (something like that), and I can see the page 
auto-refreshing every second or so. Is this something others have 
faced too, or am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks!

Not answering your question but the forums are actually newsgroups (NNTP). It's possible to be relatively happier with a newsreader like Thunderbird. :) These work for me: Server: www.digitalmars.com Port: 119 Ali

Thank you! I will give it a shot using Thunderbird then! :-)

[...] There's also a mailing list interface for the forum / newsgroups, that I personally prefer, so you can use something like Mutt for the forum, if you're a CLI freak like I am. ;-) http://lists.puremagic.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/digitalmars-d T -- Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped. -- Elbert Hubbard
