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 suspect the lost posts are more to do with the server than your news
reader. I use Thunderbird and Eternal September and I occasionally see a
reply to a topic where I can't see the OP.


That may be true sometimes but I'm sure at least some threads were
there in Agent, then not.


Ah, once loaded they should be retained. I haven't used FA in years.


Agreed, but some threads to which I had contributed were missing some
posts recently. The only way I could get them back is by "get all
headers", and then wait for thousands of old ones to download before
getting to the recent ones, after which I could delete the thousands
of old ones.
