I haven't been in beta for eons, but I don't see it on my list now, even
after a refresh ... it should still be there, just not accessible unless
you've been added.

hey there Rick

Just seems odd to lose all that valuable data.

my 2 cents
Leo :)

ps; IMHO if there not now using it your developers along with a "tight" team of BETA testers should be using an online "WIKI" for all development communications. Wiki's Rule!

That didn't stop the beta NG from being there ... it's just gone. Just
because there's no beta doesn't have anything to do with the NG being
listed. I couldn't access it but it's been there up until a day or so ago
:o/

options.

ok then they just changed how it' accessed....I've been out of Beta for a long time but was always able to at least SEE the group there now it actually has vanished.......and does not even show up in the list of NG on that server.

apologies to Mark for my re-Marks hehehehe

FYI I could always see when messages were posted to BETA and see it's "activity" or message count (just was not able to see any new headers/messages) but now it's just "gone" to me.....:( happened like LNH said in last couple days

No prob :)

In my experience they cloak it before the alpha and prelim beta teams all
start dumping secure information into it so thats probably why. I wouldent
think too much of it, its been done before, just a security consideration I
think.

You can always register to news://news.activeworlds.com/beta and if you do
it quick enough you can use a pending auth for one of the others (bots,
community etc) to let you see the post # in Beta (on IE at least). However,
without authorisation for it (based on citizen options) it will not be
returned to you when you request a list of all of the newsgroups.

It could be that something has forced clients to refresh their list of
newsgroups on the server and as a result it has dissapeared off everyones
lists, but its a new one to me.

Ah clicking that link brought it back ... thanks ... I don't expect to *see
messages* as they won't add me LOL, but I can tell when there's activity
that something new is in the works at least hahaha.

You can usually tell that when the alpha / beta team's start dissapearing at
random and come back swearing about crashes... Its a fairly good indicator,
at least initially.

I very much doubt Rick or JP have a problem with me letting people have some
sort of insight into how we are still working to create a better product.

Its just a bunch of info on bugs that have been solved at the moment,
nothing interesting in it.. its one of those things you get access to... and
go "meh..." 10 seconds later when you get bored of it.
