  • NewsCenter v0.250413b for Synchronet

    From BiggieB@23:150/10 to All on Thursday, October 01, 2026 19:17:12
    Anyone running NewsCenter by Codefenix, a lightbar-driven RSS feed viewer? https://x-bit.org/x-news

    Looking for troubleshooting assistance for "NewsCenter for Synchronet v0.250413." I have spent a few hours trying to research answers and tweaking settings and testing but to no avail.

    I am running Synchronet BBS 3.21e for Windows and although the NewsCenter seems to be working just fine, and all the news feeds are populated, I get an error every time I try to "Read full article text". Doesn't matter what feed it is.
    If I put the URL it's using in my browser, the content displays fine. I've been on other BSSes that also run this and it works.

    Is there something I need to check based on the logs below?

    Thanks a bunch!

    Thanks for the reply.

    That's one of the things I tried yesterday and didn't seem to make a difference.
