 Both digitalmars.D and link to Community->Forum seem to have
their web interface broken. Server error. So, this is the reason
why I post here.

What is "here"?  digitalmars.D is digitalmars.D, whether you post to it from a newsreader or from the web interface.

But the web interface has indeed been down for some time.  See

http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?DigitalMars/ServerStatus

I noticed that your user agent is "PHP News Reader v2.6.4 (CDSHEEN)". Does this mean you're posting from some web interface somewhere, which just isn't the official one?

The old web interface to the newsgroups has been down for a while. Some newsgroups are working with a new web interface system (http://www.digitalmars.com/pnews/index.php?category=2), but the digitalmars.D group is still down.

A new web interface has been up for some time now. See for example:
http://www.digitalmars.com/pnews/indexing.php?server=news.digitalmars.com&group=digitalmars.D.announce
http://www.digitalmars.com/pnews/read.php?server=news.digitalmars.com&group=digitalmars.D&artnum=41633

The problem is that the listing of the digitalmars.D newsgroup isn't working:
http://www.digitalmars.com/pnews/indexing.php?server=news.digitalmars.com&group=digitalmars.D
All other D newsgroups listings are working:

Right. The software for it crashes apparently because there are too many postings in that group. A bug report to the authors of it has been submitted. Everything else seems to work, though.
