Can't agree with you.

I allways understood it to be a name, not a type of network.

USENET is 1 network of connected NNTP servers, distributing the groups
available to all. The name goes back to the old days were such networks were
sometimes not even on the internet, such as DECNET.

The Novell server is a 'private' NNTP server, not linked to USENET. It only
caries it's own groups. And they don't require identifiation, but they
could.

Nope, you're a NNTP client, using leafnode as NNTP proxy.

Test

NNTP using new email changed in iChain within Novell Login account

Will my post count go up?

NNTP using original email when registered with openSUSE forums

Ok,

Looks like one has to use their original email found within the vBulletin
database, not iChain, to recognized.

Hi G,

I'm not sure how these all work. I know that on the Novell forums, the email address that is in the eLogin must be the same as the email address registered on the forums to "match up". And if you had a different vBulletin ID prior to the integration with eLogin you had to ask TPTB to integrate them on vBulletin. Maybe we have to do this as well here. I'll ask Kim.

From our Forum FAQ:

Q:Is my NNTP user ID recognized in the web interface?
A: If your email address in your newsreader matches the email address you set up in vBulletin you will be recognized on both sides as the same user. If you prefer not to have your real email address in your newsreader, you can use the following syntax for an email address in your newsreader: userid@no-mx.forums.opensuse.org and your user will still be recognized.

Hmmm... imagine that... documentation for something that I should have read....

It's like I am supposed to read the directions for new electronics, or something. Crazy talk.

Thanks a million,

Just checking.

Test of reply to new thread via nntp.

Sure enough, I don't see Rikishi's post in the web forum, but do see it
via nntp... so here's my shot at it. Let's see if this starts a new thread.
