Java Forum / General / September 2007Why do my replies not show up
Hi, I was under the impression that this group was not moderated and therefor my Replies would show up within a few seconds. However, I have replied to several questions posted and even though it states my post was excepted I cannot see the replies in the relevent threads. Does anybody know why??? Regards Steve > Hi, > > I was under the impression that this group was not moderated and It's not. > therefor my Replies would show up within a few seconds.

Ask your service provider. It's got nothing to do with the group. BTW, one question mark suffices to indicate an interrogative. I assume that you meant "accepted" where you wrote "excepted", but the meanings are nearly opposite so please correct me if I erred. If "it" (What is "it", anyway? You never said.) actually did except your posts that would explain why they aren't reaching the group.

You're right that the group is not moderated. I see two earlier messages from you this morning. If you don't see them, I'm not sure why. SignatureChris Smith > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Does anybody know why??? a) The net cabal are secretly conspiring to deny you freedom of speech. They are out to get you. b) You lack patience. Newsgroups aren't instant messaging. It wasn't designed that way. c) You are using Google Groups, notorious for such delays and other serious failings. In preference to GG, many experienced newsgroup participants use a standalone newsreader with an ISP that provide an NNTP server.

You got some good advice/tips from the other responses, but there is definitely something odd going on with this thread. I tried bringing up the thread in GG and saw the list of people who contributed, but GG would not produce the actual messages - saying instead.. "There are no more messages on this topic. All messages in this topic may have expired or been deleted." I suspect, after a similar experience recently, that GG is beginning to do some very strange things with posts. Had you, by any chance, said anything recently to a GG poster that might have upset them?

If OP doesn't mind Unix, the news server here (at sdf) is snappy enough on the 5/7 of the days where it isn't totally broken. SignatureC. Benson Manica | I appreciate all corrections, polite or otherwise. cbmanica(at)gmail.com | ----------------------| I do not currently read any posts posted through sdf.lonestar.org | Google groups, due to rampant unchecked spam. > Hi, > > I was under the impression that this group was not moderated That is correct. > therefor my Replies would show up within a few seconds. Generally, Usenet posts take some time to spread throughout the news servers. Replies do not necessarily show up in a few seconds -- that also depends on the backlog of the news spools. > However, I > have replied to several questions posted and even though it states my > post was excepted I cannot see the replies in the relevent threads. Do you mean "accepted"? A post being "excepted" would typically not follow normal rules... > Does anybody know why??? Google Groups has known problems in this area. My personal opinion is that someone messed up a caching procedure, but as I am not a Google developer, I cannot say. Try other news servers and news clients instead.

I don't know about Goooooooooogle Groups but my newsreader does not usually update my screen with new messages. I have to explicitly leave the group and enter it again to see new any new messages that have arrived.
