Correct :) The address remains dfeed@forum.dlang.org as before.

Don't forget to extend the NNTP protocol to include this information, and then get Thunderbird to support it ;)

Well, with the old server I often faced XHR (XMLHTTPRequest, I suppose) errors on Chrome (Win7), especially at night (UTC +1). With the move to the faster one, I've never succeeded in retrieving a single post. So I've gone back to Thunderbird, which works beautifully, BTW.

Oh, and it's not so easy to find the name of the news server on the website.

Could you please post which web browser and version you're using, and if you could be troubled, a Wireshark capture of a failed attempt to retrieve a page?

On the forum index, there is an "Also via" column. That contains NNTP links.

I've also experienced such behavior. Some image with worms (502 error, I guess) on every thread. The issue was resolved when I cleaned up all the dfeed cookies.

If that happened around 18-19 UTC yesterday, there was about 10 minutes of downtime as I was fixing mailing list retrieval. If it happens again, and you can access the forum from another browser or a private tab, please post here with your web browser and version, and if possible, a Wireshark capture.

Chrome Version 26.0.1410.64 m

Updated to Version 31.0.1650.63 m (latest), but it didn't change anything.

You can get the Wireshark generated pcap file here:

Ah, right, I overlooked that, thx.

Ah, thanks for the tip, cleaning the forum cookies has resolved the issue for me too !

Thanks, I believe the problem should be fixed now.
