Hi all,

Is there a way in UE to link certain newsgroups to certain servers? If I have 3 servers A, B and C and I want newsgroup X to use server A ONLY, never B or C. And I want newsgroup Y to use server B ONLY, never A or C ... well, you get the idea. I don't see a way to do that without manually disabling the "wrong" servers before accessing a particular group.

(And BTW, if I have to manually disable, is that what the "Disable" checkbox does in Properties/Servers/Preference?)

I've never found a task UE couldn't handle, so I suspect this is do-able, but I can't figure out how. Thanks to anyone who can illuminate me.

when you expand a newsgroup in the workspace you see the servers, you can select one or several servers and invoke "detach" from the context menu.

or you can expand a server in the servers pane, select newsgroups and invoke "detach", whichever way is more convenient.

for the import group, if you want to download a post from certain server you can create several import groups with different servers attached to different groups and import your post into the corresponding import group.

How did I miss that? I knew it had to be possible. UE can do anything.

Thanks, alex.
