Is there a way to show all new messages in forums (echos) you subscribe to only. Kinda like on the bbs, but it would show all the echos you belong to with the new messages under each one in graphical format, where you could choose which to read. If that's not possible, I'd settle for a command that would read all new in the echos you belong to as it is on the bbs.
The current stock Web interface does not have the concept of a "new
scan" and I don't believe echicken's ecWeb has it, but I could be wrong.

Ok, thanks. Like always, I'm trying to re invent the wheel. LOL It was a question from a user, and I kinda liked the idea.
If you setup a forum with software that allows nntp access, your users can read msgs on the web and do newscans.

Kinda like an old style kludge. I'll check into that. Thanks for
the idea
by the same token, i remember that at least one of the web interfaces has a method of selecting the areas you want to read... it ties directly with the BBS interface as well... deselecting the areas you are not interested in results in them not being displayed when you go to read messages... that's how i recall it but it has been a while since i played in that area ;)
as before, it has been a while but doesn't sync offer a NNTP interface in addition to all the others??

yeah, but the person has to go into their client and setup the user/pass/server address, and not many casual users will do that.

i don't see the problem with that... they have to put in the server address anyway to read the posts... their user name and password are required if they want to post... nuttin' new there... SOP as far as i can see...

yeah but pretend you are a regular user and think about it.
i'm a ""regular user"" on numerous systems... some bit of configuration still has to be done... either in a terminal program (telephone number or remote domain) or a news reader or even a mail reader...
maybe you meant "anonymous" or "guest" users? but they still had to configure something just to get to the system to start with...

no i meant a regular user. it might be hard for you, but think
about how a non-sysop thinks when they are using a bbs system.
ummm... a bbs system wasn't part of the equation... the topic was about users accessing message areas... i offered NNTP as one such method... in many cases, a user doesn't need to sign up on a ""BBS"" but only complete a form of some kind to give them access to the news server... this is no different than accessing any other news server...

i thought it WAS part of the equation. this person was talking
about his bbs, and then the synchronet web interface and its search functions.
then i said he could use a forum software with a nntp plugin to
interface with synchronet and then he could benefit from the
various search features of the forum software. that's what i did
with vbulletin.
