I wish I had a better answer for you. It was working absolutely fine after

the migration/upgrade and we did do extensive testing in a "sandbox" - so

that is not what broke it. Something was changed on our network about a

month ago that broke the link to CadSoft's forums and we've been scrambling

to try to work out how to get it working properly again. We thought it was

resolved the other day. However, as we can only do limited testing on the

live environment in a 'test' forum to check the syncing before we run it

live, we then were informed it updated a bunch of old posts in addition to

bringing in new posts that had been queued up in the backlog since the sync

was broken which it had never done previously - and nothing in the code that

processes the interface has changed. Only the connection restored. We are

working with our global IT and networking departments to try to restore the

link back to the way it was working previously and apologize for any

inconvenience this has caused to you on the forums.

Sincerely,

My bad. Set up newsreader on a different computer and somehow listed my name

as Cadsoft rather than Oppie.
