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?

I use Charter also, and am having the same problem. 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.
