how to post to moderated group?

All right, colour me stupid.

I've been googling for 15 minutes to try to find how to post
to the exciting new group.

And come up empty.

Can someone throw me a olue?

I'm using Seamonkey (was Mozilla) if that
makes any difference.

If I knew what an "olue" was, I'd throw you one. :-)

Just like any other group. Giganews is now carrying it, so you should be
able to subscribe, and Ian's fixed a bug with the addresses, so you should
be able to to post too.

Umm, first off, refresh (or whatever Seamonkey does) your groups list.

Add uk.rec.cycling.moderated to your list of subscribed groups.

Compose witty, well thought out and poignant post.

Hit send key.


(I see you're using Giganews as your news provider. I do too. I was
having trouble posting via them but it seems to be fixed now)

Yes - plusnet finally got it, and I tried to
reply to the "Hello" thread started by Wm.

I've appended the message, from my out box.

It's not on the group, and I can't see any trace in the logs.

Just post your article as normal. The News server software should
detect that it's a moderated Newsgroup and email your article to the
moderators for approval, instead of injecting your article into the
News system for general propagation.

(Having said that, I had to tweak the News server software here
to email article to the correct address instead of using the
"catch-all" address.)

I'm using Seamonkey (was Mozilla) if that makes any difference.

The Newsreader in use doesn't matter. The News server software
should just handle it automagically. See above.

I hope the mods will pass anything meeting those criteria, but to be on
the safe side, a bit of cycling content would be good as well.

Can you see the group on your list of groups?

If not, see if you can add it.

If you can see it, try posting to it. With luck it will go to the
"censor" and either be accepted or rejected.

Check other messages for more details if you have a problem.

Just post, like to any other group. Your Usenet client or the upstream
server will sort out the clever technical stuff.

Indeed.

It was mistakenly rejected by chiark at 11:29 this morning, before I
fixed the mail problem that Clive George refers to. Try again now.
