Gnus Manual

6.4.3 Ultimate

The Ultimate Bulletin Board (http://www.ultimatebb.com/) is probably the most popular Web bulletin board system used. It has a quite regular and nice interface, and it's possible to get the information Gnus needs to keep groups updated.

The easiest way to get started with nnultimate is to say something like the following in the group buffer: B nnultimate RET http://www.tcj.com/messboard/ubbcgi/ RET. (Substitute the URL (not including `Ultimate.cgi' or the like at the end) for a forum you're interested in; there's quite a list of them on the Ultimate web site.) Then subscribe to the groups you're interested in from the server buffer, and read them from the group buffer.

The following nnultimate variables can be altered:

nnultimate-directory

The directory where nnultimate stores its files. The default is `~/News/ultimate/'.
