    Link to submit a news article is invalid -> http://www.fidonet.ca/submit-article.html

    Also, http://www.fidonews.ca/fnews/index.html - is not the current news article :-(

    And, the menu choice, Read the Fidonet News Echo -> http://www.filegate.net:8080/bbbs is invalid.

    * Just trying to help.

    Hi Ozz,

    Link to submit a news article is invalid -> http://www.fidonet.ca/submit-article.html

    Also, http://www.fidonews.ca/fnews/index.html - is not the current news articl
    :-(

    And, the menu choice, Read the Fidonet News Echo -> http://www.filegate.net:8080/bbbs is invalid.

    Right.. the port now used is :8090 because of script kiddies :(

    * Just trying to help.

    Thank you Ozz :)

    Yes, those links are indeed broken. Once Bob Seaborn died, I did have difficulty updating the pages at fidonet.ca. More recently his son did agree to make the changes necessary but some pages were missed obviously and some were no longer applicable. I'll try to get them updated today.

    If you want to send an article to FIDONEWS, send it direct to Bjorn Felten @2:2/2 or check any issue of Fidonews for insructions.

    If you want to send an article to the FidoGazette, email it to me at janis@filegate.net, or netmail it to me at 1:261/38 or 1:261/100 on my binkp port 24555.

    Remember if you use netmail attach for either journal, send the netmail direct Crash to the recepient since routed netmail rarely will get an attach to its destination.

    Take care and thank you again,
    Janis

    Hi Ozz,

    I think I fixed it today, and deleted links that were no longer applicable..

    Hopefully all is better now.. if you notice something broken, please feel free to let me know :)

    Thanks again,
    Janis

    Thank you for accepting my input - certain things have made me a little worried about helping and or pointing out issues.... not interested in complaining, just want to help - kickstart Fidonet again! Here are today's findings ;-)

    http://www.fidonet.ca/
    --> Main Body looks like the 3 LI entries would be links to content, but are not.

    /history.html
    --> Tom Jennings Link - should probably point to:
    http://worldpowersystems.com/archives/FidoNet/source/Fido-FidoNet/fhist.html

    FYI, I have all of Tom's 1984/1985 original notes, and docs from other authors that Tom had collected if that helps make a more *complete* History of "Fido" (the original BBS from Tom).

    Still looking around, but @ 10:10est my laptop does a security reboot... rebooting :-(

    That would be nice <grin>

    Main Body looks like the 3 LI entries would be links to content, but are
    not.

    They are not meant to be links. As the page says, "Choose a selection on the left to read more about Fidonet" - it is a design descision.

    /history.html
    Tom Jennings Link - should probably point to:
    http://worldpowersystems.com/archives/FidoNet/source/Fido-FidoNet/fhist.html

    Changed now to that link, but the graphic does not show. He may have lost that file, I don't know.

    FYI, I have all of Tom's 1984/1985 original notes, and docs from other
    authors that Tom had collected if that helps make a more *complete* History of
    "Fido" (the original BBS from Tom).

    That would be material for a different type page I think.

    Take care,
    Janis
