kgroneman sounds like they ‘said’: [color=blue] > Hey Stevo: > > Which forums?[/color] So my response to kgroneman’s comment is… I’ve checked these: suse.support.server.patches-updates novell.support.open-enterprise-server.linux.install novell.support.open-enterprise-server.linux.administration novell.support.open-enterprise-server.linux.networking (IIRC) I was just curious, as I posted a message in the patches-updates one, and hadn’t seen anything newer than several days old in there (besides mine), and decided to check a few others. Just commenting on how quiet it’s gotten in these compared to years past…sigh. – Stevo ---

Steve, I have been unable to access the forums via NNTP for about 5 months. All of a sudden I tried to log in one morning and all I got from Knode was Access Denied. Been that way ever since. I can access obviously by the web interface but for me NNTP is dead. I rarely have a chance to visit via web. ## – GofBorg GofBorg’s Profile: [https://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=154446](https://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=154446) View this thread: [https://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=477588](https://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=477588) ---

Looks like it’s all sort of been munged at some point with accounts linked and looped and plugged in sideways during all the turmoil. If someone can grant me access on the NNTP side that would be nice. ## – GofBorg GofBorg’s Profile: [https://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=154446](https://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=154446) View this thread: [https://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=477588](https://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=477588) [Next page](https://forums.suse.com/t/forums-dead/25712.md?page=2)
