FYI

I see an attachment to a post done at Element14 got through to the

newsgroup. (eagle.support.eng -  Where is the Package Editing mode

button in the gui?)

 

Let's see if this image gets back to Element14

 

The attachment was not included when Element14 retrieved the post.

Additionally the XML image attached today at the News Group did not appear

at Element14.

Apologies - I'm curious to see if an image posted via element14 appears in nntp and eaglecentral.

Thanks,

Ah, so I noticed that in posted where attached image made it to NNTP safely, it was an actual "attachment" in element14, not just an inline image.  In order to make an attachment, the "Use advanced editor" link in the upper righthand corner of the reply editor must be clicked.  This opens up a full-page editor which has a "Choose File" button underneath to make an attachment.

Attaching test image via this method now.

Thanks,

Drew

I'm amazed anyone can even use element14.

If they changed to phpbbs I might try them again but not until.

Their software is dismal to say the least.

They would both go away together whenever the element 14 administrators

decide old forum posts should be purged.  Where did you get the two years

from?  Is there a policy at E14 that posts of that age are purged?  That

would be surprising since I would think they would want to build up a

searchable database.  Most likely the post and its associated files would

be available a lot longer than in a pure NNTP world.

Hi,

After reading these recent posts, I would agree that the best approach

would be to include URLs to reference each asset (image or other file

type) in element14 posts exported to NNTP.  I will explore how this

could be implemented and provide feedback.

As was pointed out, one potential risk with this method is that the

assets would only be stored on the element14 servers.  However, there is

no policy to remove content after a certain period of time, and the

intention would be to host it indefinitely.

Thanks,
