Please read this FAQ before posting to newsgroups via this website:

Q: What is USENET?
A: For a short answer goto: http://whatis.techtarget.com/defini...i213262,00.html
For the detailed answer goto: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/what-is/part1/

Q: Why are they here?
A: thetravelforum.com provides a gateway to the selected travel and lifestyle related newsgroups.

Some people find it difficult to set up their news reader. Others do not know the newsgroups exist.

Q: Can thetravelforum.com control the contents?
A: No, this is simply a gateway, most of the posts are not posted by thetravelforum.com members. These posts are not moderated!

Q: How can I stop my newsgroup post from appearing on thetravelforum.com?
A: Our gateway will honor 'X-No-Archive: Yes' headers, read your news clients help files for info on how to add this setting.

Q: Can I use the forums to post to the newsgroups?
A: Yes, you can post a news post just like posting a message to the forums.

Any new posts or replies posted to the USENET section will be sent to USENET. Do not post in USENET section if you only want a local discussion.

Q: What should I know before I post?
A: Newsgroup netiquette: http://www.albion.com/netiquette/introduction.html

Q: Can I delete my post in this section?
A: NO

Q: Can I post attachments?
A: NO, all the newsgroups we provide a gateway to are text based.

Q: Can I edit my post?
A: No, edits will only be reflected locally on thetravelforum.com

Q: Do forum subscriptions work for newsgroups?
A: Yes, forum and thread subscriptions work the same way as the standard forums. You can select to receive the following:
Instant notification: You get an email when someone posts a reply to a thread your subscribed to.
Daily updates: You receive a daily email update of active threads and new posts.
Weekly updates: You receive a weekly email update of active threads and new posts.

Weekly and daily subscriptions are recommended so forum subscriptions rather than a single thread. Subscriptions can be managed from your User Control Panel.

Q: Can thetravelforum.com ban people from posting to newsgroups?
A: No, go back to the top and visit the links provided and stop asking stupid questions
