Im 90% sure I used reply ..on my screen All my posts in this forum appear

in the only thread I have made since joining ..I always return to my posts

several times to check spelling/clarity so I would probably notice if I

created a new thread

Well, this message starts yet another thread - while your previous reply

to my message referenced that correctly.

based on this comment I think the forum has a problem of some kind

Yes, that web gateway still has "some problems of some kind"... :-\

What about using a decent news client (Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Forte

Agent, etc.) and access the newsgroups directly? Note that even when

accessing the "forums" at eaglecentral.ca, you are not really using a

forum - instead, it's just a (somewhat buggy) web based frontend to the

newsgroups.

..I was

surprised when Morten Leikvoll asked me for screenshots because I had

already posted 'self-explanatory screenshots' in my first post and then

posted them again in reply to Morten ...I though you were warning me

because I had posted the same screenshots twice ..and now your asking for

screenshots..I'm guessing you cant see Any of the pics I've posted?

There simply was no "first post" here. Your first post visible in the

newsgroup seemingly is a reply already (starting with Re: in the

subject). Eventually, your attachment was larger than the size limit

(50k?) for the newsgroups so it didn't get through.

The (probably) second screenshot is visible - but from that, at least I

can't see what your problem is. There is an imported logo, obviously

importing it has worked. Fine - but what's the problem with the gerber data?

offtopic:

I can post screenshots of this thread to help troubleshoot the issue ..but

will you be able to see them?

You'd better upload your images and post a link.

This has been a messy thread. A few observations looking at it with

newsreader and browser.

The initial post was not accepted by Newsgroup as it was over 50kB.

Interestingly (the first time I have seen this) although James reconfigured

EagleCentral to not accept files over 50k and limited to three attachments,

you can add many 49kB files so that's why it was rejected by Newsgroup as

there was 116kB of attachments.

A trap with NNTP is that the 50kB appears to be the whole message and not

the attachment limit so a 49.6kB attachment at EagleCentral won't  get

through due to the text ,message and wrapper text exceeding 50k in total.

A later  post did not get to the Newsgroup. It had a sigle 45.88kB

attachment.

The first message the newsgroup saw, the second post when viewed at

EagleCentral has an imbeded image. Strangely this image appears to have been

attached to the first message. James needs to look into this.

Subsequent posts have images imbedded. These don't pass through to the

newsgroup. Something more for James.

Stop Press: An now tuk- has posted all the images again, which did not reach

the newsgroup  because the total is 180kB

TUK- It is web ediquit to compress/optimise your images before attaching.

Get a app like 'Image Optimiser'  and your screen shots can be squashed  to

a more manageble size. Had you done this, all your images would have got

through.

I did not see apparent new threads as Tilmann saw.

I used IrfanView to reduce the images to the forum upload limit of 49kb or

less..the source files being several hundred kb each I thought this was

reasonable ..had I known the trouble it would cause ^^

Kudos for the attempt.

FYI

I had a go with the very first image you posted.(48kB)

Leaving it as a JPG it is still OK at 16kB

Changing it to a PNG (with 4 colours) it is great at 7kB
