My news server requires authentication (username/password, not SSL or any variant). There seems to be no place in the properties dialog to enter username/password (which is where I would expect to find it).
With 0.9.7, when connecting to the server (news.verio.net), it would pop up a username dialog and then a password dialog, with a "Remember this username?" checkbox (which didn't seem to work -- it would ask me again pretty much every time). With 0.9.8, it doesn't work at all. It never prompts me for a username or a password. It simply says "Connection was refused by server." I know it's not the server's problem, as I have another newsreading program that can connect to the server just fine. (Of course, that program -- NewsBin -- has an explicit checkbox letting me *tell* it that NNTP authentication is required, and an explicit username/password field letting me set my username/pwd once and for all....) What's the deal with 0.9.8's brokenness? Cheers, Rob
