hello. yes indeed there had been recent updates. I see the "forum" is actually a mailing list, where the new posts are being filtered out. We are working on resolving the issue.

We are having the same problem with our two jOrgan mailing lists: jorgan-user@lists.sourceforge.net jorgan-sound@lists.sourceforge.net John Reimer |
Correction: the jorgan-sound did work for me this morning with a test post. John Reimer |

can you try to resubscribe the nabble archive to the mailing list?
|
Thank you for your reply. I am not the "owner" of these two mailing lists, and I don' know how to do what you suggest, but I shall pass it on to the original owner, and eventually report back to you. I can update my report. It seems posts to the two Nabble Forums are now appearing in the mailing lists, but not on the Forums! John Reimer |

Does this mean filling out the “Archive Your Mailing List” form, or is there something else I should use? At the moment we seem to have full access to the information in our two Nabble Forums and to the search feature, despite the problems. Will resubscribing compromise that ability in any way ? John Reimer |
to resubscribe, go to the forum homepage, on the "options" drop down, select "application", then go to "mailing list archive setting". then click on "subscription instructions" and follow one of the instruction there.

Haozwang,
Thank you for those instructions. I would never have found my way there without them. The closest I got was to find the form, "Archive Your Mailing List". However, the owner of our mailing lists obviously knew what was needed, and he has already resubscribed our two lists. All is now working properly. I was about to send you this report. I am grateful for Nabble, as it greatly improves the use of mailing lists. It surprises me that some of our list users still use only the mail postings. John Reimer |
Haozwang, Out of curiosity, I tried to follow your instructions but I drew a blank. I don't know where the Nabble Forum homepage is, and what I took to be the Nabble homepage has no options. It does have a link to “Help”, and that link is not as easy to find as it should be. Is it the case that filling in the form, "Archive Your Mailing List" would have resubscribed our list? Can you please clarify this? John Reimer |
Hi John,
Administrators of a Nabible forum have many more options displayed on their menus than non-registered and registered users. That probably accounts for you not being able to find the options haozwang refers to.

Hi Greg, Thank you. That may well be the explanation. Actually I find my status ambiguous. The owner has had to become less involved with our mailing lists, which are hosted by SourceForge. When some spam posts were not being removed, I emailed him, asking if I could become a Moderator. My impression was that he made me an Administrator (to my surprise). However, SourceForge lists me only as a Moderator, and yet Nabble lists me as one of the three Administrators. I am used to ambiguity in life, so I don't lose any sleep over this. ;-) John |
Hi John,
Just realised some explanation of "moderator" and "administrator" might be helpful. Anyone can subscribe and post to a mail list. There is no method of controlling those subscribing, but subscribers may be marked for moderation when their posts are not automatically forwarded to subscribers. In other words control takes place on a post by post basis. Forums are fundamentally different. Individual posts are not controlled, rather access is. A forum administrator controls the areas of the forum where a user may view, post or reply, but once those permissions are granted he has no control over individual posts. In the case of a Nabble archive of a mail list, it is Nabble that is subscriber to the list and the posts that Nabble receives are automatically posted to its archive. Nabble users can post to the forum and their post will be forwarded to the mail list, not as a post by Nabble, but spoofed with a From address showing the Nabble user's email addeess, but as most list software bans non-subscribers from posting, unless the same email address is recorded as a subriber on the source list the post at Nabble will be marked as pending acceptance by the list. Hope that provides the background and reason for the different terminology.

Thanks for this information. Is it possible to get the nabble archive to catch up with posts to the mailing list that were missed between when sourceforge stopped sending to accounts that were not reconfirmed (like nabble) and now? Is there some magic incantation to catch up? Tim. |
