Rec.Radio.Shortwave - What's Up ?

Q#1. Is anyone using the New - Google Groups "Beta" Webpages
and the 'Posting' via Google ?

Q#2. If So... How do you like the New - Google Groups "Beta"
'Posting' process ?

Well, it *is* a bit different. Something that we'll need to get use to.
This is my FIRST post on this beta system. Seems OK. It also appears to
be posting messages much quicker. Well, we'll see how it works. Let's
see how long before this REPLY shows up on the google webrowser

Wow!! Took ONE minute! That's lots better than the 5 to 9 hours! It's
rough playing with newsgroups when you're not at home and using other
equipment and can only post via the web. I like it!!

When was there ever a 5-9 hr delay. I get posted within 10 seconds

Before Google changed their system, if you posted a message through your ISP's news server, it could take 5-9 hours before it would show up in the Google Groups system.

So folks who read news groups through Google wouldn't see a message until it was several hours old.

Thee's never been a delay posting from google. You post there, and it
leaves their system almost immediately. If you read messages there, however,
it won't appear until the next update or the one after. The updates are
every 4 hours.

Now, I don't see any difference in how fast or frequently the archive
gets updated.

Yeah....that's what I said...it would take HOURS before a posting would
post on the GOOGLE WEBROWSER. Now it takes MINUTES for a post to show
on the GOOGLE WEBROWSER. Before, the updates on the GOOGLE WEBROWSER
would sometimes take 5 to 9 hours. The 5 to 9 hours was also the
advisory that was posted on their site and I found that to be fairly
well true.

I use Google Beta - it is dramatically faster, hundreds of times
faster, which is a great thing. One minor problem, maybe due to
traffic, is that on occasion, the new Google server indicates back to
the sender that an error has occurred, the message is undelivered - and
it gets delivered anyway. The downside is that the message gets posted
more than once *if you try again.* No big deal, except the poster
looks (and feels) like a dufus. Mea culpa, as it happens.
I can live with it.

Thanks for that info regarding the minor problems and glitches. Good to
know and will keep it in mind. Yeah, it's a breath of fresh air for
those of us that don't have access when away from home to a
newsreader-type reader.
