I am just starting to learn about D, and will probably have a number of comments and questions, but I don't want to wast peoples time by asking about things that have already been discussed.

J C Calvarese <jcc7 cox.net> In article <c601nj$229j$1 digitaldaemon.com>, samoconnor mac.com says...I am just starting to learn about D, and will probably have a number of comments and questions, but I don't want to wast peoples time by asking about things that have already been discussed.If you want to avoid asking the same question that someone else has already asked I've got some tips, but they're not foolproof. We won't jump all over you for asking a common question again.(I'm using the web interface) Is there a way to search the history of the newsgroup?The web interface to the newsgroup (http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?D) will sort by Subject by clicking on the Subject tab at the top of the page, but you will probably have to click through a lot of pages to find the subject you're seeking. I've used it quite a bit, so I've gotten pretty good at navigating around it.Is it archived on google groups?I don't think so. (I think they might archive it if it was called someting like comp.lang.d which has been suggested.) There's a "Search Site" box at http://www.digitalmars.com/, but it only covers the web pages (not the newsgroup).SamThe best way to follow this newsgroup is with a newsreader (such as Mozilla Thunderbird or MS Outloook). It's easier to follow threads, posts show up quicker, posts can be cancelled, and you can usually sort or filter on Subject. For example with Thunderbird, there's a "Subject or Sender contains" box where I can type search criteria. If you haven't already, it'd be a good idea to look at the FAQ's: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/faq.html http://www.wikiservice.at/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?FaqRoadmap Wiki4D has a variety of information about D and it does have a search function (http://www.wikiservice.at/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?Search). If these tips don't help you with your questions, go ahead and ask your questions here or at dsource.org (http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=4). The D community is pretty friendly. (Hmmm. I guess I should add this material to the FAQ on the Wiki...) JC

Just that google groups carefully goes and cancelles out vital parts of everything which looks like an e-mail adress, if i remember correctly. -eye

If you could change the software so it uses PATH_INFO instead of QUERY_STRING then the URLs would be like: http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews/D/27490 Google friendly URLs.
