This happened to my husband on his G4 iBook after I installed Leopard
(an archive & install w/ preserved settings). I checked the settings
under the "Special" menu first and, incredibly, the allegedly preserved
settings mechanism had somehow screwed up his server settings using info
from my admistrator account on his Mac. Once I corrected that, he's
been able to post again w/o any problems. I definitely no longer trust
that "preserve settings" routine.

I emailed the author, Simon, a while back about a minor enhancement I wanted
to see. At the time he said that it was unlikely he would do any further
updates of any kind to MT-Newswatcher... I'd like to think he'd fix *this*
issue.. but I thought I should share what he told me at the time.

I've gone back to running a Windows-based reader in Parallels.. Kinda a
bummer.. I got used to MTNW.

Not that simple; I'm using 3.5.2 on an Intel Core 2 Duo with zero
problems.

I don't see anything special in the settings.
Server Options:
Server Address - <my server>
Port - 119
Use XOVR and Don't open... checked
Authentication:
Method - Username and Password
Username - <my username>

I have a Intel Power Mac, with Leopard and MTNW 3.5.2 and have had zero
problems with posting messages.

Usually slow posting is a server problem -- have you checked with other
Supernews users? Do they have private groups you can post a query to? Up
with which you will not put?

Sorry Bob, I replied to the wrong article/poster. I was talking to the
