I keep missing the OP in a thread and some complete threads -
although I can see them online.

I'm using OE6 - would that be it? Would I be better off using
Firefox to read NG's?

Could be a combination of a short keep-time on your news server and a
not-regular-enough connect frequency by you. If your news server
only keeps messages for e.g. 3 days after arrival you need to
connect at least this frequently to not miss posts (or change news
server).

I'm confused now. I get on to the group every day.

OTOH, does OE perhaps have an automatic deletion schedule? E.g
perhaps it deletes read posts after 5 days. If so that may be
removing the earlier posts in a thread.

Nope, I can see threads tha go back ages.

Have you ever reset the local file for your subscribed groups?
Right click on the NG name in the left panepropertieslocal filereset

This will delete all old posts and re-download new headers...you may be out
of memory allocated to OE
