MESSAGE NO LONGER AVAILABLE for me to read too often
Often when I click on the most recent unread message, I get a red flag, a
line through the title, and a message saying that that post is no longer available on the server. Is anyone else having this problem? Is this a problem with my computer, or are a lot of posts being deleted by someone? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are you still wasting your time with spam?...

Your ISP probably doesn't care enough about news to allot server space (which costs them) to it. You could email them and ask them what their retention is and ask if they can increase it for the groups you read. If they tell you that's not possible, read it more as that they don't want to and find another Internet provider. Or sign up with one of the for pay news services. Cyli r.bc: vixen. Minnow goddess.

Google up free news servers, some have good retention rates. There is a free german news server that is a good one, the name escapes me just now. Frank Church |

In fact, today it says that there are "no items in this view . . ." but when I look at Google there's a long list of items posted since I last viewed. Furthermore, even though I've followed Charter's instructions to the letter after their change of news servers two weeks ago, I still can't post either replies or new messages. Probably time to look for a new ISP. Will probably sign up with SBC. Bob |

Yep, but it won't recognize my password for any length of time, even after it has been reset numerous times. I've been through it with them and have decided to shop elsewhere.

Mark Something to check out if you are using a method(s) other than a BS DSL or constant DU to get to the server: the BS news server is configured not only to ask for username and password, but to check that the attempted login is from an IP address in the range it "likes," supposedly the BS range. If your connection is dropping and reconnecting or changing IP addys for whatever reason, that could cause your problem. What I don't like about this little supposed "security" "feature" is that one cannot log into the server from non-BS IPs, even with a username and password, such as when traveling, but it really does nothing for security. And on a purely "YMMV" note, Lookout Distress might not be the best choice, news- and mail client wise. Hope this helps, R |
