This used to be an active NG, but my ISP (TeraNews) doesn't show
anything since January 2004. -- |

If you can read this (and if you can, then your problem is solved), you probably need to unsubscribe, then re-subscribe to the newsgroup. Teranews probably re-indexed something. Used to use them for a little while; they were down more than they were up, I could only see about 1 of every 10 abpf postings. SuperNews on the other hand has been hassle and worry free. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |

So, I thought I try a post to see it if showed up. It didn't, so something had to be wrong. It seems to be working now. I just got 27,000 headers. Still not sure what was wrong. Moonspots? -- |

Teranews probably re-indexed something. Will that help? What does it do? What 're-indexing' does is _change_ all the article numbers. *ON*THE*SERVER*. Your newsreader "thinks" you've seen articles through "number 87 gazillion and 4", because that was the number of the last article you read, and _now_ the server is dishing up article numbers in the low thousands. Smaller than before, so these *must* be 'previously read' articles, and your news- READER program therefore doesn't show them to you. The 'fix' for that particular issue is to tell the newsreader program to 'forget' what it knows about previously-read articles, and start over. Unsubscribing, and then re-subscribing, *may* accomplish that 'forgetting'. Used to use them for a little while; they were down more than they were up, I could only see about 1 of every 10 abpf postings. SuperNews on the other hand has been hassle and worry free.

Most people don't play with their settings, so if it just happens without having done anything, it's usually the server.
