MEGA download
For quite some time now my server has not been collecting all posts on rpca,
although it was kind enough to tell me so. It would say at the bottom of the screen "xxx posts unread, xxxx not downloaded." The undownloaded posts increased and increased in number. I fiddled around with the settings to no avail. The instruction "download all messages" didn't seem to mean a thing to this reluctant server. I began to wonder what it might be about these posts that I wasn't allowed to see. Was my server operating its own form of censorship I asked myself? ;-) Until this morning, that is. I signed in this morning and was merrily reading away when suddenly my screen gave a sort of twitch, like an up and down movement. Yep, suddenly and for no apparent reason my server has seen fit to let me have a look at over a thousand posts it was previously keeping to itself!! Some of them have already expired from the server, dating back to when I was in hospital in May so I guess I'll not know what *they* said. So many things have happened to you all that I didn't know about! I shan't be able to read them all, but if you get a reply from me to a post you sent a while ago, this is why. Tweed |

"CatNipped" wrote OE only lets you download 1,000 posts at a time, so if I haven't been on the group for a week or so I can't get all the posts. BUT, having received the no. you specified (it only lets you choose up to 1,000) you can then go to "Tools" and click the "Get Next xxxx Messages" item on the menu, and so on until you've completely caught up. I think Tweed's problem, quite a common one IME, is that her ISP's NG provider just isn't picking up all the available messages even though it can tell they're there. The solution? Use an ISP whose NG service is provided by GigaNews: it never seems to miss a one (unfortunately in some case, IYSWIM). I'm with Pipex and they're splendid: not the cheapest but possibly the best value for money. Purrs (and watch that cycling now or we'll all be very cross) Gordon & the TT (FF soon) |

NOT true. That's what the wee button "Get next XXX messages" is for. I have mine set to 1000, yes, but that's just for my convenience. -- Once a suicide bomber, always a suicide bomber |
