Hello there,
I usually read the forums with Knode and so using nntp service.
Since yesterday, I have stopped receiving new articles but I can see there
are new messages within forums web page.
Not sure if this is something wrong on my side or there is any problem with
nntp service :-?
Any help is very welcome 
Greetings,

Well, this posting of yours popped up on NNTP OK.

Thanks for replying!
I was not sure the message I sent was reaching the forums… look, caf4926
has responded via forums, but the message I sent using nntp is not there
(and yours neither):
http://forums.opensuse.org/forum-usage-support-information/417552-nntp-problems.html
It seems a kind of disassociation for both environments (nntp and forums).
Let’s see what caf4926 discovers. I’ll keep watching web forums in the
meantime

Just to confirm that I see the same here, no new posts from the webside on
the nntp server, I cannot even see caf4926 on the nntp side. using knode
here as well, also same shows in TBird.
And Grahams post does not show on webside.
Wonder what will happen with this?

Does that mean I can say exactly what I think about web fora and not upset
anyone? In that case, I don’t think I’ll bother. Where’s the fun in it?

He, he X-)
I wonder what is happening with these messages that we are sending right now
through nntp service. As web forums are not catching them, where are they
being stored? I feel like if I were in a kind of “limbo”.

i’m-a limbo bimbo…
yep, the thingy that is supposed to connect the foot bone to the leg
bone (aka the nntp-to-hhtp thingy) seems to be on a break…

Ahhh, you mean a break in the space/time continuum

we are only dealing with a software company, so it might take a
while…huh?

As NNTP seems to be OK, I thought I’d change the title of this thread.
Somewhat like the British newspaper headline from many years ago?
“Fog in Channel. Continent Cut Off!”

Bitching will definitely speed up the troubleshooting process. Thanks for your support.

(comes from too many years of being shoved around by a large and
unfeeling bureaucracy for far too long)
actually i’m pleased that it only took about half a day (waiting for
the Mountain Time Zone to get to work)…
it is too bad the world_wide community has to wait for the fixers to
have their morning coffee at the usual time–are there not 24x7 Linux
qualified admin on the Novell payroll somewhere in this wide world??

Unfortunately not. Basically it’s only Kim dealing with technical issues directly, the rest of us are volunteers and we have no access to Novell’s network.

which is as i thought: a single point failure situation…
the guy is out of the office and all repair actions have to wait
until his clock calls him to duty…
question: would we still be off-line had he (say) slipped into a coma?
is that the way it ‘should be’?
it is certainly a quaint way for a company with an international reach
to plan and implement a customer communication strategy in the 21st
Century…it is so, last century…hmmmm, 1800s actually.
this is what, the second or third time in a year that we had to wait
for someone in the USA to come to work (during normal, monday to
friday office hours)? is there not one Linux administrator on the
Novell payroll on this side of the earth?

Hey brassy:
>which is as i thought: a single point failure situation…
Not exactly, let me explain how it works a little. By the way, I don’t
drink coffee and I’m always in the office working by 7:00 AM.
Of the forum staff, I work for Novell and am the only one of the forum
staff that has access to the actual servers since they are in our data
center which the data center folks guard with their lives and even
employees have to demonstrate their willingness to give their left arm and
right leg before being granted access.
There is an entire department at Novell working 24x7x365 and available to
take care of issues as they arise. In case I’m not available, the forum
staff has the capability to contact our IS&T dept directly to report any
outage.
The issue is someone has to notice the outage…then report it to the
staff…and the staff (group of volunteers) has to be in the position to
actually report it to me or Novell directly. There is a link of people
involved. Sometimes that takes time. We don’t always do a perfect job of
getting things fixed immediately but we do as fast as we can.
