Hi,

Is there a newsgroup which would allow me to post a plant picture as an
attachment? I don't have the know-how to set up my own web page or Blog.

Thank you,
Bella

No one can stop you from posting to any of the picture groups, but it will
possibly violate their charters if you do, the one mentioned above is
specifically for gardens (unsurprisingly!)
Search through your newsgroup list for it and if it's not there, just search
for binaries.pictures....you'll probably find one that suits your needs.

Ah, but if you post to another group, we here would not have the pleasure of
seeing your piccy here !
Why not set up a MSN group (or similar) -post the piccy to that and let us
know the url.

This is a good site to post to, but please don't post pics that are to big
to open comfortably without broadband.
If you post pics there that are of interest to this group then please post
here to tell us what you have posted and where.

I,ve just posted pics of tree dahlias taken yesterday on the above site, so
you can see what I mean.

Is it just me, or does Google Groups not fully recognise abpg? I
can't get in.

Google groups doesn't handle binaries, only text, you need a dedicated news
server...some ISP's provide a news service, some do not, there are free ones
but they can be flakey at best, one such is:
news.usenetzone.com
you can sign up for free, they email you a username and password and then
you access the groups through outlook express as normal.

upon closer inspection, it seems you are with tiscali? - they use
newsindividual.net, abpg should be in your newsgroup list

No, news.individual + OE. I was just using Gg because I'm not
subscribed: I'd forgotten it was a binary-free zone -- thanks.

Surprisingly no problem getting David's pictures using news.btopenworld.com
They tend to be a bit mean with binaries access sometimes.
Can't you try another feed, Mike ?

In that case a dedicated binary server is the only option...I'm with
Blueyonder and until recently we had three binary servers and one text, the
3 have been amalgamated into one but retention is poor.
Havingsaid that I find it much easier and quicker to get mp3's, videos and
DVDs from the news servers rather than using P2P.

One of the beauties of news.individual.net is that it doesn't have
binary groups and strips binary attachments off newsgroup posts.

Correct abpg not available on indiv. but additionally( to openworld) it is
available on news.virgin.net.

Thanks for all your replies. Tiscali, my ISP, doesn't appear to include
alt.binaries.pictures.gardens in its list of available newsgroups, nor am I
able to find or download news.usenetzone.com. Therefore as suggested,
perhaps I should try posting pictures on MSN or Yahoo.

If you get stuck, this is the address for usenetzone:

http://www.usenetzone.com/

It seems to be a russian site but there is an English language section, you
just fill in a from with your existing email address and country of
residence and they send you a username and password to log on, I have it as
a backup in case the Blueyonder servers go down.
