We have a post going over on abpo just to see how much traffic there is.
So please sign up if you can still post images. So far we have about a dozen people. Cheers Wendy |

I'm on Bell South, and they simply ditched all the binaries groups. Of
course, we've discussed that ad nauseum, so I won't go over old ground. Diana wrote in message ... i think i can still get it, but have to be home on the mac to do it (as was always the case). --j_a |

Able to see and post pix.
Again, a suggestion: For $3/month, anyone can access all of usenet including binaries, on usenetmonster.com. [If you're interested in this, it's quite easy to sign up, they have step by step instructions. They have two server locations: news.usenetmonster.com, and bignews.usenetmonster.com. The latter is very fast.] Chuck Berlin Pittsburgh, PA USA "Wendy7" wrote in message ... We have a post going over on abpo just to see how much traffic there is.

If you want to post photos and get maximum distribution for them, post them some place like flickr or picassa. Make sure they are viewable even to non-members. Post the URLs with descriptions here. 1) If you are getting USENET via your ISP, odds are you won't get binaries now. You also probably won't be able to send binaries. 2) If you are getting USENET for free from somewhere else, odds are you won't get binaries now. If ABPO is available on the USENET server you get for free, odds are what actually makes it in or out is quite sparse. 3) If you are paying for USENET, yes you'll have great access to ABPO. However, most folks here aren't paying for USENET. So, to repeat myself again. ABPO is effectively dead, use a photo posting site such as flickr, or picasa, or facebook or.... I think it's great that Kye is doing his little news server, but any off the shelf web content management system is better technology than NNTP for distributing pictures. I'd probably actually use it if it was a full fledged USENET leaf that carried the pile of other newsgroups I read. I'll probably peer with it if I ever set up my own NNTP server.

TWIMC,
I am not trying to revive abpo!!!! There are a couple of die hards that are able to post images so I simply wanted a head count. Cheers Wendy wrote in message ...

Hi there "dusty",
I heard the problem lies in the fact that some servers have blocked UseNet. I do not understant all this as I had a computer guru set up my computer/email/newsgroups etc. I don't have a problem but was checking to see how many people can still view & post our group. I am hoping someone else will jump in here to explain. It would be wonderful if the TeraNews worked for everyone. Cheers Wendy "dusty" wrote in message ...

Hi there Roy,
What a shame! There are still a few people at abpo & yes, a lot have hooked up with Kye's private server, 121.208.41.118 & orchids.pictures where you would subscribe/setup just like you would for other groups. Then there is our original group - rec.gardens.orchids but is text only so people post a link to various photo web sites. Cheers Wendy wrote in message ...

Hey, Roy,
I don't know why more people aren't using the site that Kye set up, as Wendy described. I haven't been doing much there lately, but only because I'm so flippin' busy. I'll get back there.
