Using Xnews
A few days ago, the list pane lost all articles except for two, dated 3/10 and 3/18. I've tried all sorts of resets, unsubscribing, etc. etc. No luck. Keep getting only these two articles. All other groups working fine. Using eternal-september as ng server. Will try my Thunderbird newsreader, which uses same. I am sending to this group just to see if 'sends' work. Retrieve does not. |

Netscape Navigator 2.02, which I am using, has a
show all messages (rather than just unread) but won't find messages that the server has deleted. Locally it keeps a list of message numbers read, is all. Slow to adopt. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

Locally it keeps a list of message numbers read, is all. My Xnews is set to save all headers and articles for this newsgroup and all other newsgroups. This group is the only group where I am having this problem. I've tried resetting, but no luck. I only have articles numbered 17885 (3/10/2017) through yours 17893 (4/22/2017). There's nothing before 3/20/2017, and all of the middle of March, and the first three weeks in April are missing. I just tried another lapatop (Win10) where I use Thunderbird, and it shows articles back to 2014, but does have a large gap between 9/21/2016 and 3/10/2017. I think it's the server. Both news reasers use eternal-september for the server. Slow to adopt. Sometimes that good. |
