I note that my user email address has to be consistent with my ISP. That is fine for access from home but my user email address (which is my home email adress) will not be consistent with my work ISP. Does this mean I will not be able to post from work any more?

Does this above then permit me to read posts from sci.med.cardiology? It looks as though they have not been archived since mid-2004.

Sorry about that, I havent looked at the list of users who needed upgrading for a couple of days. You and the other 17 people waiting should have full access now.

What happened to the women's forum? Is it gone or do I not have permissions to view the threads? I applied last week.

Hi

For some reason it was set to only show threads that are less than a day old, i've fixed it now though so you should be able to see all threads.

Hi,
Can you please advise me on how to delete a question I have placed on a forum group. The question I asked now has no relevance and I would like it to be removed, but can't find how to do this.
Thanks
Toni

Hi Toni

Can you please send me the URL to the post you would like removed?

Keep in mind we can only remove local postings, anything thats been sent to a newsgroup can't be deleted from that newsgroup.

Hi Steve

I applied for usenet access yesterday. You haven't gotten back to me.

Anyway, aside from when I was in college, my ISP and my email have never matched. I feel like it's this way for a lot of people. I'm kinda wondering why these things need to match.

Also, free email systems, most notably Gmail, offer huge advantages over most email services. Why would I not be allowed access to usenet purely because I want a more efficient email experience?\

I'm just curious. You can tell me "none of your business," and I'll just apply again from campus using my alumni email account.

Thanks,

-Cosmo

Too bad about the change. It makes this website less user friendly. I can't be bothered with the hassle of getting 'approval'. I'll just go elsewhere.
