    I only had to put the password in once and after that it automatically is already in there each time I go back.

    That all sounds like the password is incorrect, especially since you

    Hello there Retro Guy, great to have someone who responds to Usenet
    problems, unlike Google Groups.

    You might remember me from the poetry newsgroup, which I expect will
    have a lot of our members moving to Nova BBS soon.

    I remember you, how could I forget!

    Yes, some sort of browser password manager. Most browsers I use ask if I
    want to save the username and password.

    I hesitate to put the password or indicate "already logged in" in cookies
    for security reasons. This way, your browser cookies are safe from prying hackers, there's nothing there that's terribly important.

    eternal-september.org is excellent. They are one of the providers
    partnering in spam filtering.

    Also, news.i2pn2.org (www.i2pn2.org) is the nntp server that is used for www.novabbs.com, and is the same filtering as the website.

    Both e-s and i2pn2 are free servers.

    If the spam doesn't fade away in a few weeks I'll try that, but I try to keep things simple. Thanx.

    this why some Usenet servers do not use filtering:

    "I doubt that supernews or other big premium/binary news servers will
    do any filtering. They do no filtering in order to retain their
    "common carrier" status. They need "common carrier" status to avoid
    being liable for copyvio carried on their servers."

    I presume 'copyvio' refers to copyright violations that might be found
    in binary (i.e. not text only) messages (e.g. the audio of songs)

    as it says near the top of its home page,
    https://news.eternal-september.org/
    is a text only Usenet server

    Hello there Retro Guy, great to have someone who responds to Usenet
    problems, unlike Google Groups.

    You might remember me from the poetry newsgroup, which I expect will
    have a lot of our members moving to Nova BBS soon.

    I remember you, how could I forget!

    Enjoy real Usenet once Google shuts off. Consider a real newsreader at
    some point to get the full effect.

    Those who were included in the "Great Usenet Poetry War" are likely to remember some of the names, Retro Guy.

    As for the "war" it seems the Google Groups announcement has led to an almost complete cease fire, with Michael Pendragon and NancyGene stopping their malicious attack threads on the day of the announcement.

    While it's uncertain whether NancyGene and Pendragon will follow on to Nova BBS to continue the troll attacks, some of my allies have already switched to Nova BBS.

    Peace may be at hand, Retro Guy.

    🙂

    It sounds like your problem will be solved, Roger. I had the same problem yesterday and solved it by creating a new ID with a different e-mail address.. Instant gratification.

    Hopefully everyone will be able to find a Usenet venue to suit them, as we enter a new age... without Google Groups.
