I've seen three tests in this group from you today: 1532, 1536, and 1602 (all times UTC). If you're not seeing them, could it be an OE problem? -- Rich Webb Norfolk, VA |

I use Thunderbird as my client via the Hamster news proxy server which I originally set up to filter out all the googlegroups and aioe.org spam. All I had to do was put the name of the new server into Hamster, wait for it to download the posts and all was well. No changes needed to be made in the client and no need to resubscribe to any groups. -- Tim Phipps replace "invalid" with "uk" to reply by email |

Actually, it wasn't so much that it was hard to do, if a little tedious, just that it really gets on my wick when ISPs find it necessary to change something that has worked absolutely fine for years. I dare say that the problems that I had today were due to server overload, when everyone found the messages from the ISP on the groups, and then went trying to get their new server address set, as I did. Still, I'm back reading and posting ok on all my usual groups using OE, and my X-News is working ok also. Now when I can figure how to delete that old profile from X-News, then I will be back on home ground ! Arfa |

Now when I can figure how to delete that old profile > from X-News, then I will be back on home ground ! Oh - NTL ! Yes, read about this problem elsewhere. Server change it seems. It can bugger up the post numbers. You have to delete and reload. Anyway you're sorted now. Bon Chance ! Graham |
