Happy Holidays, Everyone!
I hope everyone is enjoying whatever holiday they celebrate this season.
I'm posting via Google Groups because Thunderbird started giving me problems when trying to hit the NIN server for newsgroups. I've been fussing with T-Bird issues for a week. Email didn't work for a while, either. After much tweaking of Thunderbird settings email now works fine. The problem is narrowed down to NIN settings for newsgroups. I emailed NIN support. They're trying to be helpful but it seems there is a bit of a language barrier. I won't go into tech details. They're pretty much telling me to try all the things I've already done. So... here I am using Google Groups, which I despise. I do hope I get this figured out. Happy Holidays and hug a kitty! Jill |

I had a problem with using Thunderbird for newsgroups too. I finally unsubscribed and resubscribed to all my newsgroups, one at a time. Then I read any recent posts and marked all read. Now it seems to be working okay, except that if I click on an old (read) post I get a message saying the post doesn't exist. Joy |

The support from NIN has gone from great to they don't really care. I am now using eternal-september with Thunderbird. So far no problems. I was unable unsubscribe from any ngs or even remove the NIN account. Not even when I was offline. I wound up merely changing all the settings so it doesn't try to hit that server, period. Then I had to re-train my eyeballs to ignore NIN still being on the list. At least I'm able to read and post to ngs again thanks to eternal-september. I was really just being stubborn. It should not have taken me six days to give in and try another news server. LOL Joy, check your T-Bird settings under Synchronization & Storage. If it's set to delete messages you may just need to modify those settings. Jill |
