Hello All,
SQLJunkies Newsgroups
I just put up the beta release of our new newsgroups application. Now I need some feedback. What newsgroups do you want to see on here? I have all the SQL Server newsgroups, but would you like to see more? Such as ADO.NET, Windows CE SQL? Etc.
If you try to go to the newsgroups within 20 minutes of this post you wont see much. The archving mech. only fires every 20 minutes.
We added some nifty new features:
- Alerting: If you are a junkie and you don't like spam from newsgroups then let us take care of it. We have implemented an alerting system so now you can go to a post, any post (whether you posted it or not) and wire yourself up to get an email notification whenever the thread is active again. We deliver it from our server to you based on your registered email address.
- Forwarding: Now you can forward good posts to friends
- Rating: rating is used because all threads are downloaded and static pages are created (for performance) based on your rating after a set amount of time all badly or not rated threads are purged from the system so we only keep threads that actually give good information. Additionally, these ratings will be used in the new Search functionality that will be launched next.
We have a lot of other new features we're going to be implmenting in the next release but we wanted to start testing now so please try to break it, and post any bugs to the bugs forum found here: http://dotnetjunkies.com/Forums/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=4933
