It worked fine for me with one exception. I went to the
binaries images group and clicked the last image on the
list. The text portion loaded fine but the image appeared
as a broken link. I then tried four more images and they
loaded and displayed without a problem. A quick test
of a couple of other areas also worked without trouble
of any kind.
Is this to give access to people who are stuck behind
fire walls ?

It works for me. I have not browsed extensively, but the URL is valid and
I was able to see an image from povray.binaries.images.

If I may suggest something... I think the reason you're doing this is to
allow people to read the povray.* newsgroups without necessarily having
access to the news server. There is also a way to enable people to post in
these groups, it's called a mail-to-news gateway. There might be several
versions of it, but a friend of mine wrote one that works pretty well in
our school (for relaying mailing-lists, but it can be used without them).
You'll find it at <URL:http://www.mygale.org/~tquinot/mail2news.en.html>.
If that may help...

Works fine for me :) although I also found a broken graphic link. It was in
the most recent post to the povray.binaries.images group, which says it was
posted 30 minutes ago (I think)... the other few I checked were all good
(using Netscape Communicator 4.06 for MacOS PPC).
Good idea, BTW. I hope it makes it through the testing.

Works fine for me (IE 4.0 and Communicator 4.06). Great idea! :-)

It works on my Mac PPC. I also could not see the latest image, tho.
Is there any way to provide feedback for suggestions or is this an "as is" site?

1- URL works ok, but an individual article comes up very slow, (in my
tests).
2- I understand that the page with the latest articles in a group comes up,
but that articles are sorted on one page from old to new. This is somewhat
confusing
3- Are you planning a search facility?
Anyway, great idea.
Frans.
