Hello, I got a hint to use the gmane-interface... ...nice tool. :) But the gmane-server which is mentioned ont he healp-pages of http://www.r-project.org/ http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general and the links on that page also, just only bring me to an gamne-archive, which is outdated. I post via http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general ( http://post.gmane.org/post.php?group=gmane.comp.lang.r.general ) and it works and is up to date, but the gmane-archive reachabkle via the links from the r-cran webpages is at least threaa days without update. So, inserting working links would haelp the users a lot! Ciao, Oliver
When I look at that page and choose the "all messages with excerpted text" link, I get what appears reasonably up-to-date entries compared to what I get in my mail subscription. Have you considered the possibility that it is not Gmane which is "without update" but rather your knowledge of how to correctly use your browser that needs updating? Generally there is some keystroke or button combination that forces a a browser reloading of a webpage. Gmane may be a couple of hours behind but not usually several days. -- David Winsemius.

I have here the latest date from 2007/09/10 at http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch/maillist.html When using the other archive, which was recommended to me, it was up-to-date (even if slow, because there was mentioned it needs up to 10 minutes for an update).> Generally there is some keystroke or button combination > that forces a a browser reloading of a webpage.[...] But this does not help. Ciao, Oliver

Before submitting editing details, please clearly describe the problem at the gmane.discuss list, set up particularly for these problems. The Gmane maintainers will try to help. Or just use a proper newsreader and forget about it. Web interfaces are probably the worst way to read news, except while on the road... -- Seb
