Thank you for your patience during the transition and redesign of the Autodesk Discussion Groups. Your feedback has validated many of the improvements we've made to the groups, but it has also alerted us to some problems that we are working hard to resolve. We apologize for any inconveniences being caused by these issues. At this point, the main issues are as follows: 1. Intermittent message-syncing issues between nntp and http 2. File attachment restrictions and errors We have scheduled an update for Saturday, January 18, 2004 from 10:00am to 12:00pm PST. This is to further improve both NNTP and HTTP performance. NNTP access will be unavailable during this time. HTTP access will be unaffected. We appologize for any inconvienience this may cause. To help keep you informed of our progress on these and other issues, we've created an area where you can review their current status, as well as find release notes and announcements when available: [URL]http://www.autodesk.com/discussion-announcements[/URL]. If you have additional feedback or input about the Autodesk Discussion Groups, please contact us by using the form available at [URL]http://www.autodesk.com/discussion-feedback[/URL].
