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.

Thank you, Bill. Good insight into the problem, so now I understand it
(within the range of my limited technical abilities!). Sadly, no such
check box. I'll investigate the possibility of a different server.
Thanks again,
Larry
