Subject: OT What News Reader do you all use??? Help requested!
|
I have an account with free.teranews (one time charge of $3.95)
It has worked flawlessly until a few days ago with Outlook Express.
Now I get errors often and Teranews support tells me they are not even set
up to work with OE!
They suggested I try a real newsreader software.
I just tried News Rover 11... seems OK, but I want to know what the rest of
you guys use!
OE is just so much easier, anyone have some input on this?
Thanks

At home I use Forte most of the time. At work (or at home sometimes,
too), an open browser with a google account works well.

no usenet account needs to be maintained this way.

Thanks for your input.....
So far today, I have tried News Rover, Forte Agent and may attempt Xnews.
All I want is a simple reader - I read and post, no attachments, just words!
I don't want to use it for email, just news.
here is my ideal setup:
I have 1 account with login and password, I then want to have 3 different
"nicknames", each with about 5 different newsgroups.
I use a different user name for different groups, so need to have that
flexibility.
OE is by far the easiest to set up that way, I could not figure out how to
do it with Forte Agent.
Am I missing something??!?!?!?

There is no USEnet concept of "nicknames". The account name is determined by
loggin onto your NNTP (news) server, not your newsreader.
You splattered this same question across numerous newsgroups using different
posting names, and without providing for correlation of the replies. That's
pretty darned rude.

Hi, I've used Outlook Express's NNTP/Newsreader ever since I've owned my
computer, Dec 31/01. After my ISP discoutinued service for NNTP
Newsgroups, I tried GigaNews. Well suffice to say that even with their
cheapest "Bronze" plan, that's $7.99/month. After about 5 months of that
I took the advice of others here & subscribed to
http://news.individual.net/ for 10 Euros per year.
What I said in an email to GigaNews: "Sorry, but I've found a new News
Server for 10 Euro a year!, that's approximately $14.40 a year or $1.20
Canadian per month versus your $7.99 USD ($9.32 Can) per month, $111.84
Can per year!!
It's 87.1% cheaper. I've enjoyed the 5 months with Giganew's incredible
text
& binary retention, but it's too expensive for me.. "
Hope that helps..
Craig.

Reluctant though I may be to agree with the Geeman, I've been using
Forte Agent for (literally) a decade or more. Highly recommended
although I'm told Free Agent has change so much since I knew it that
it may not be the best choice anymore.
For text groups, like this one, any one of several free news readers
should suffice. What doew terranews recommend?

I agree. I have used Agent for many years. used the "free" one for a
long while then realised I liked Agent so much I wanted their
employees to have a good life and submitted my $19 or something. Agent
is consistent and stable.

Thanks Randy, downloading it now.
I think it may be teranews that has an issue... because I am having the same
sort of problems with OE and NewsRover.

Tried it.
Hate having to double-click to retrieve body of message.
Hate the mouse scroll behaviour.
Going back to Thunderbird, although it is not perfect.

I'm currently using Google Groups Beta reader, which shows up in that
list as "571 User-Agent: G2/1.0". Looks like a popular choice.
I use it ( and have also used Bloglines for similar reasons) so I get a
consistent environment at home and at work.

Popular, yet broken. Among other problems, it
apparently encourages people to top post.

Get AGENT. It is by far the best!
Go here and download its trial version for 30 days. You'll buy it
after that, believe me!

I can't believe no one has mentioned 40tude Dialog yet.
I used the paid version of Agent for years. Years. Although lately I'm
just casually using Google, I found 40tude Dialog to be dramatically
better than Agent while presenting most of its familiar aspects, but
exposing some serious power.
http://www.40tude.com/dialog/download.htm
Am I opinionated? Yes. Dialog is the best newsreader in existence.
Alas, it looks as if its development has "done an Agent" (any of you
Agent users remember the "Babylonian captivity" when Agent was not
developed for YEARS?) -- but it's already darned mature. It even
includes a scripting interface, and there are plenty of handy scripts.

You should try real newsreader software. Outlook Express is a POS on
the Windows side of things. Then again, Windows is a POS, so I expect
no less from MS.
I've used Free Agent from Forte when I was on
Windows. Now I'm a Mac user and use Thunderbird from Mozilla. Decent
newsreader and e-mail program. I'd recommend it highly. It will get
you away from the bane of e-mail apps, Outlook Express.
You will thank me for breaking your OE habit. :)
