Hi Frank - I'm sorry if I sound testy about this. I could have launched my forums four months ago if I had been able to ask a single tech support question and got an answer, and I am wasting a *lot* of peoples' time here.

My own actual tech support question which I am trying to register to post is this: I am trying to sync a USENET group to FUDForum, and FUDForum sync breaks when it hits one of five specific posts in the newsgroup.

Those five posts were created years ago with blank subject lines. Apparently FUDForum can't deal with "null" subject lines. So instead of *skipping* those emails or substituting say a single character, FUDForum sync breaks at the point it hits one of those posts and goes into an endless loop, cycling back and re-importing the previous messages again and again.

We have been unable to reach the admin of the USENET group to have him delete the five posts, so that avenue is closed. We can't proceed without working around them; we are *dead in the water* at this point and have been since September (and all following plans that descend from the forums are also stalled until the forums launch).

I have searched the FUDForums to see if anyone else has found a resolution for this, but all I've found is indirect confirmation that the "null subject" bug exists without a resolution posted.

How can we get FUDForum to either *ignore* these five emails or to, say, substitute a single character for the "null" subject on their import? Do you have a suggestion for resolving this - or can you paste my question into the appropriate forum? I obviously won't be able to give feedback on the success/failure of the patch until the registration bug is addressed but I can post feedback on it in here; it's awkward, but that would be a heck of a lot better than my current situation, which is "dead in the water for four months, and with no timeframe for resolution".
