Hi Argonaut,

Is this for the news groups? I don't think there's a new news group server, but the details for the existing one is:

Enter display name, enter email address, enter news.btconnect.com

and there's usually a list of groups that can subscribed to.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi,

One extra bit of info. If you get a login popup then leave the fields blank.

The reason for that is because the BT newsgroups are (were?) run by Meganews, and the pop up is a login for their system, not ours.

Might not be the case now, but it was last time I heard anything about it.
