Been happily shuffling along with Forte Agent for years now.
Though I've got purging turned off completely, threads are
disappearing from my newsgroups. I only notice this when there's a
thread I'm interested in and all there is left is one single * post
at the top of the list. The rest of the thread has disappeared.
Is Forte Agent worth updating from version 6 to 8, or are there better
newsreaders these days?

I've been using 8 for a while, with no problems, although I only
follow a couple of newsgroups and only purge deleted posts (Trash)
older than 50 days on closing, and I have no problems with it. It does
all I want of a NG reader, but I'm not very demanding. Has something
got ticked under one of the Options that's causing the unexpected
purging?

Possibly so, there's a lot of options. Though I've turned off purging
all round as far as I can tell.
