The problem is, 0 connections is used to purposefully disable a server without removing it from the config. Fine so far. But if the server is purposefully disabled, one doesn't want it constantly complaining because it can't connect. It that case, normally, pan should just ignore that server, not updating any groups that appear only on it, etc. But if a group is set to a posting profile that posts to a disabled server, it /does/ seem logical to have an exception, since if one has gone to the trouble of posting, one presumably /does/ want it to post, and if the group is set to post to a disabled server, a warning in that case would seem logical. Which is what Heinrich did in his patch while we were discussing all this. =:^) It does popup a warning for a disabled server, but only if an attempt is made to post to it. Otherwise it stays quiet, as users would normally expect from a disabled server, so as not to irritate them. (At least that's how I /think/ it works. I have a disabled server and didn't start getting warnings annoying me when I hit the fetch new headers in all groups button. That's good. But I haven't actually tested trying to reply to a group only appearing on that disabled server, so don't know for sure that it does popup a warning. But I do know the git commit says that's what it fixed, and I'm not getting a bunch of unwanted popups from it, so I won't complain! =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
