Windows Forum / Outlook Express / General Topics / May 2008Newsgroup Post List Shortened?
I'm subscribing to a NG whose list size has suddenly shrunk. Originally it showed about 80 entries, and now it shows two. I unsubscribed and started again, but still see the last two. Any ideas how to see back further in the list? What newsgroup and what server are you using? Different servers keep posts for different lengths of time. For example, if you subscribe to this newsgroup directly through MSNews, the messages will remain for at least 90 days. But, if you subscribe to this group using another server, such as your ISP's, they may have a much shorter retention period. To know for sure you have all the messages the server you are using currently has, reset the newsgroup. While in a newsgroup: View | Current View. Make sure Show All Messages and Group Messages By Conversation are checked. Tools | Options | Read. Uncheck: Get XXX headers at a time. Then, right click on the newsgroup in the Folder Tree | Properties | Local File | Reset. Switch to another folder and then back and all available messages will be downloaded again. Or go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Clean Up Now and choose the group, or server at the top and then Reset. It would be a good idea to compact your folders when you're done. Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed. My personal preference is to disregard synchronizing and rather have OE check for news when it checks for mail. Tools | Accounts | News. Check: " Include this account...........".  SignatureBruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA > I'm subscribing to a NG whose list size has suddenly shrunk.

Thanks, but none of that worked. I now have three recent messages. Someone posted a new one in the last few hours. news.sf.global.net is the NG server. The NG is netscape.public.mozilla.seamonkey. I think I'll post a msg to it to see if someone has noticed a similar change in # of entries. I see another NG that has 794 entries and another with 186. > What newsgroup and what server are you using? Different servers keep posts > for different lengths of time.

A server side issue I would assume. For MS newsgroups, I would suggest using MSNews.
