Hello,

The web news interface posting is now available for registered users of
povray.org (see <http://www.povray.org/community/login/>) that have at least
specified either a pseudonym or a public email address (which will appear in
the "From:" line of the post).  Note that there will always be a slight
delay between posting via the web interface and the post appearing on the
news server.

Right now posting of attachments is not supported by design.  It may be made
available later if the plain message posting does not cause any problems.
Further, canceling messages is not yet supported via the web interface.  We
plan to make that facility available in the future as our time permits.
Another limitation is that the web view does not support cross-posting at
this time.

As far as the supported character set is concerned, the form should only
allow ISO-8859-1 characters in the text input fields but I do not know if
all browsers really enforce this.  In any case, while ISO-8859-1 characters
are supported, it is still strongly recommended to only use the common
subset all people will be able to view - that implies ASCII characters -
just like when using a regular news reader!

    Thorsten

  Does quoting properly work?

As you know, p.international is not supported in the web view and never has
been.  As i pointed out, you can only post ISO-8859-1 characters.  Nothing
else will work.

Hey, this is great news! I'm just about to be forced to use the 
library's computers for my internet access, and they don't allow 
newsreaders there.

Dear Admins:

Please add word wrap to the web posting system. It is annoying to have to
scroll horozontally just to read what I have written earlier while writing
a post, and I don't want to have to hit enter at the end of each line as it
stuffs up the word wrap in the final post.

Thanks. Great feature. I really like the way things are builded and
implemented in pov-community. And I hope my questions and criticism is
usually creative :-)

And first feature request (yes, Ingo, I will never stop)
Can it be possible to define pov-sig within user account?

> As far as the supported character set is concerned

Coward ;-)
