What's with the *fake* reply post (by using "Re:" in your *originating* post)? The References header is missing in your "reply" to point back to a parent post. "If the message is submitted in response to another message (e.g., is a follow-up) the default subject should begin with the four characters "Re:", and the "References" line is required" (RFC 1036, 2.1.4 Subject).
A couple of suggestions: - Turn off your vibrating seat cushion. - Stop chewing crunchy food while trying to read the screen. - Get used to the laptop bouncing around in the car. - Let the kid go to the bathroom on which you perched your notebook.
Since you did not clarify what you meant by "bouncing web sites" then any guess is correct.

So, what, you're sayhing that vBulletin Gateway doesn't comply with RFC standards regarding Usenet posting? Nah, couldn't be some hack job isn't compliant. From http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=65152, "This hack provides a gateway from vBulletin forums to the USENET. It allows forum members to read newsgroup messages as well as to send posts to the newsgroups. In a nutshell, it turns vBulletin forums into a basic function news reader." So it is a very crappy and non-compliant NNTP client. Geez, even newbies seem to figure out how to use OE, Forte, Thunderbird, and other NNTP agents. Maybe you meant, "Oh, a post from one of those, um, low-wattage usenet-challenged forum users."

Did I say that? No, I didn't.
I'm now saying the OP was posted in the vBulletin forum, and never made it to Usenet for some reason. Had you seen the link, http://www.iamnotageek.com/showthread.php?t=805890 you would have noticed that.

I'm well aware of what that mod does. I was looking into vBulletin for one of my sites. I don't want to pay the ridiculous price for the software though. I installed pHPbb with a similar mod and it seems to work pretty well. The problem with integrating "flat" web forums with Usenet is the threading gets out of sync. sometimes.

It's not really a client per se. more of a portal.

Judging by all the dumb ass questions that get asked in 24houridiot.fuckupdesk, I would have to disagree with you.

No. I meant exactly what I wrote, I copied the relevant part of the posting header. It explained to you why "What's with the *fake* reply post" was an invalid statement.

It has "Re:" in the Subject so it's a reply. But wait, it has no References header so it's not a reply. It's not a fake reply if it doesn't have the References header because it's not a reply, but yes it was a reply and hence the "Re:" prefix in the subject and the body showing it was a reply. It is, it's not.
Lots of Nixies like to point out that OE has its faults as an NNTP client. Well, now I can point at portaled posts and say, "Well, it's not as bad as them."
