When exiting from TB (ThunderBird), can i have a DialogueBox that asks
me, [Are you sure you want to close TB?] ?



_____________________________________
Maybe there are a few more (similar) alternatives to NovaBBS, but...


(Mr.) Marco Moock listed only NovaBBS as an example (see below),
so i'm not going to worry too much.




using NovaBBS,
Can i subscribe to a Thread (as in GG)? --> Apparently not.

Can i cross-post ??? (No)

Hello!

This is only relevant for those people who read or post in that
newsgroup using Google Groups.

Google will discontinue Groups in 2 days.

For those who do not know Usenet: -- Usenet is a
distributed communication system consisting of many servers. Google
Groups is only one of them that closes down - other servers will stay
available, but people need to use another server to read and post here.



There are 2 alternatives:

(1) Using a web-based Usenet interface:
Those behave similar to Google Groups, you can read
there, but for posting you need to register an account for free.

One of them is:

(2) .................. (e.g.) ES + TB
