(...) I agree with you here, I have looked into the abyss of madness called MySpace & have gone crazy myself! What I meant to say was "control over JUST the profile page". Agreed, there is a nice established look with LUGNET, that it would be nice (...) (16 years ago, 25-Aug-08, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Actually, some work on the user profiles is also very high on my wish (and ToDo) list. I'm quite an active networker, too, and on all these "modern" platforms you find - among all that clutter - some desirable features that might be worthwhile (...)

(...) I know it's bad form to reply to your own post... but another idea would be a updated user profile... I have a web-site, a blog, I'm on Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn, Picasa, Twitter, Plurk, FriendFeed, AIM, Y!M, gTalk, etc. It would be nice to (...) (16 years ago, 25-Aug-08, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) As I said in another post, I think converting FTX to HTML on the back-end would be a "better use of your time" type of solution, considering how diverse your audience is. (...) Some other ides to consider: - A true RSS feed direct from LUGNET, (...) (16 years ago, 25-Aug-08, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) That's a really good idea, Michael. There is already an internal function for rendering FTX as HTML, which could be reused for this. It might be a good idea to filter out any JS injection attempts in URLs, which would benefit the web-based (...) (16 years ago, 25-Aug-08, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) The easiest solution would be to convert FTX in NNTP message files into HTML; most NNTP browsers understand embedded HTML. And then rewrite the web-posting modules to convert FTX to "safe" HTML (ie. rejecting JavaScript injection or other (...) (16 years ago, 25-Aug-08, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Thanks for your suggestions (all of you) - actually an FTX-capable news reader might be something we'd need an idea of the actual demand for. I'll take your suggestions into account and we'll see what we can make of them. There are also some (...) (16 years ago, 25-Aug-08, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I've solved the read vs. unread issue by reading LUGNET via RSS & Google reader. There's not enough traffic on LUGNET to prevent me from reading it via RSS now (the traffic has dramatically dropped since Peeron introduced the RSS feed). And I (...)

(...) One solution would be an FTX enabled news reader. There is no reason why a news reader could not process the FTX. Another thing a customized Lugnet newsreader could do is post via the web interface. I don't think it would be too tricky to get (...) (16 years ago, 25-Aug-08, to lugnet.admin.general)

As a follow-up to the original announcement, I would like to let everyone know that the "visitor" who basically jammed the NNTP service came back this morning.

(...) You are certainly right, however using NNTP to get your awareness raised for new developments in your favorite newsgroup (or boards, as forum jargon would put it) could be quite helpful. I find myself using this means at least for some groups (...) (16 years ago, 25-Aug-08, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) I agree that NNTP is the best way, but I haven't used NNTP for a long time. Ever since FTX was allowed in posts, it's been pretty useless because you can't see the images and other FTX enhanced aspects of messages through NNTP or email. (16 years ago, 24-Aug-08, to lugnet.admin.general)

No web based forum has yet to provide the flexibility to keep track of what I have read and what I have not read (and (...) (16 years ago, 22-Aug-08, to lugnet.admin.general)
