With almost 1000 threads in this newsgroup, I'd some times like to find
a particular thread, but whenever I try to search it fails, with the
message "A News (NNTP) error occurred: chaining not allowed".
What does this mean? What am I doing wrong?
Haven't seen this in a bit, but first what it means. Chaining means sending one
command to a server, then sending another before the first completes. With some
server software this might allow multiple commands to be running at once, but in
general it just saves the time between client and server interaction. Some
servers don't like this, because it could fill a network buffer, have multiple
commands running at once, be used for spamming, or "just because."
What to do? I thought there was a setting for this in the "server" part of the
account setup, but I don't see it. None of the servers I use needs to have this
changed so I didn't look all that hard, I thought I remembered a checkbox in the
server settings, but that might have been a 1.1.x thing, or even 1.0.x, I've
been using Seamonkey a long time.
Thanks for any advice anyone might have.
Since you have a reason to look harder than I do, and now you know what to look
for, see if you can find anything related to chaining commands. Or find another
server if possible, or live with the message. Your choice.
