Testing, just making sure forum is still working

And it also seems that somehow E14 "lost" a bunch of my replies to various

threads over there at roughly the same time..... What a fantastically

reliable forum system they have.....

Web access to CadSoft support forums at www.eaglecentral.ca.  Where the CadSoft EAGLE community meets.

I see the link was back and working very briefly yesterday evening but it

seems broken again now. Also none of the discussions that occurred in the

interim period in the different forums synced across. Are Element 14 still

looking at this? It's now been broken for two weeks....

Hi Rachael,

I have informed the appropriate persons of the issue, let's see what

happens now. Hopefully, it won't take to long.

EAGLE Central forums are still working ...

 

Yes these forums are working as are the E14 forums but the link between

them is broken!

 

It does make it peaceful here without the constant "I can find part xyx

in the libraries" posts though....

Actually, to be correct EAGLE Central is still in sync with the official

NNTP support forums.  Anything between those two is still working fine.

E14's link to the official support forums is broken and if nothing makes it

to the NNTP forums then it can't make it to EAGLE Central.

The NNTP forums are the official channel.  The web interfaces provide

convenient access to them for those who aren't familiar with NNTP.

James.

There have been posts in the Element14 forums, but they have not been

cross-posted to the newsgroup. I suspect the bridge is broken.

You are right. Dead silence. Funny?

Can't

 

Oh how I wish there was an edit previous post option.... Unless it's

there

and I am being blind?

 

Take it with a smile. We know what you mean

 

 

Odd... I read it as "can't".  I didn't pick up on the typo until I read

her followup.

 

Wishful thinking

Not a bad idea

 

Now, now, look at this way, how will those new users benefit from your

vast EAGLE experience if their questions never reach you?

 

Even if some of the questions are "Where can I find XYZ part?", there's

always something interesting.

 

Thank you everyone for letting me know you are still here.

Nothing against questions about eagle, but imho most of the questions

have nothing do do with eagle. It is most frustrating to read something

like "look at my attachment" and there is nothing  to see. Correct me if

I'm wrong but I think element14 is trying about 4 years to get their

attachments through to the NNTP

Through the use of news groups?  NNTP is easier to setup in most

email clients than an email address.

Hi Jorge,

Is the newsgroup information still present on the Cadsoft site ?

I can't find it !

Hi Chuck,

This is true, but few new users are even aware that NNTP exists, let

alone what is or how it works.

That's why a working web mirror is so important. We have eaglecentral.ca

but we can't advertise it much because it's direct competition to element14.

So the most neutral thing to do is to make sure they are all working.
