Yes, it came through okay Richard.
News.Individual.NET is the service I use for the comp.sys.acorn
newsgroups.
News has been very quiet in recent times.
I've noticed here how little traffic there has been lately.

Are you using the new internet stack? I have found that when the ip6
stack is installed it fails to resolve the news.plus.net address.
Going back to the standard ROM internet stack and things are fine. At
the moment I am not bothering with the ip6 stack.
You don't have to have the IPv6 stack enabled on the on the new
stack. It's a button choice in configure. If not ticked then IPv6
not in use.

Which browser did you use to try and register?
Was there no tick box below the text that says "Please prove that you're a human" the box can take a few seconds to appear, just tested it here with !Iris. But justed tested with NetSurf 3.10 and also a latest build and the box below the text does not appear - could be a bug in !NetSurf

I realise that, and I have never enabled the ip6 option. I actually checked that the option was not enabled. It is the address news.plus.net that will not resolve, everything that is not a news server resolves fine. I tried pinging the giga news addresses that the plusnet address aliases to and
none of those resolve either. It appears to be a problem with news servers.

In desperation you could add the above address as an entry in your
Hosts file.

Unfortunately this seems to be the case. May be there is other technical trouble at some servers too. E.g. I posted three announcements to comp.sys.acorn.announce ten days ago. That had not been published yet
so I assume that they were lost however.

Received here OK.
news.plus.net is an alias to the giganews servers (i.e. not part of
PlusNet)

Thomas, did you send them to the Submissions to csaa@owlart.net
address. Thats the address for sending stuff for putting on CSA.Announce
I still cannot understand why ROOL went down this route
when the former are much easier to use.

I simply wrote the announces with Messenger (now Version 9) for newsgroup comp.sys.acorn.announce. Until now this this was automatically redirected
in which way ever to csaa@owlart.net and after hours or one or two days I
got a reply from Andrew that my submissions have been published.
However this time I didn't got any reply from him :-(.
However it would be interesting to find the reason for the loss.

Have you reported the issue. Otherwise it will not get fixed. In any case news.plus.net is not using IPv6 as PlusNet don't support IPv6 yet.
You don't have to have the IPv6 stack enabled on the on the new stack.

Much less satisfactory the newsnet or a mailing list.
With both systems stuff just pops in nicely, daily. !Pluto just filters
stuff into boxes and I read, dump or archive as required. No need to go through a login and search process. You can call me lazy if you like but forums are simply too much hassle and I still cannot understand why ROOL
went down this route when the former are much easier to use.

Horses for courses. I'm happy using both depending on the content. I'm
quite picky about which groups or forums I subscribe to.
