Questions get answered here, of that there is no doubt.
The problem is, very few questions get asked here, far fewer than on the NNTP newsgroups.
Welllll... ?
Request clarification before answering.
Its on our list of things to get done...
but obviously we're not there yet.

It is going to happen... I just can't tell you the date right now until we are closer to completing the work.... (because I don't know the date).
A year is a long time on the internet, isn't it? 🙂
Maybe a regular reminder in the newsgroup that this forum exists would help.

I'm quite surprised the NGs are said to be searchable by search engines...if so, my typical search results have been way below my expecations. (Any searching with news readers like Thunderbird has not been very helpful in my humble experience, either).
I think the searchability is one of the biggest advantages of this web-based forum. Personally, I also like the builtin search facility:)
I agree with you Volker. I think this web-based forum is much nicer then using the NNTP groups. (Some other web based forums not so much).
With that said, I've always had great results searching google groups with what they have backed up from the Sybase NNTP groups. Been able to find information really quickly.
Hope Sybase does end up moving it completely.
Google effectively destroyed Google Groups when they redesigned it a year (?) or two ago. Google Groups Search was broken before that and remained broken. I still use Google Groups Search occasionally... when I am desperate for an ancient answer... it is the only NNTP search game in town.
