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?


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.
