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.

Check the view by clicking on the binoculars icon and see if you are
displaying all messages.

The rest of the thread has disappeared.
Is Forte Agent worth updating from version 6 to 8, or are there better
newsreaders these days?

As I understand it, upgrading is only worth doing if you are
downloading large multipart binaries. The latest version is v8 but it
is many years old and there is a bugin filter aging tht has not been
corrected by Forte.

The Agent newsgroupis still active.

Thanks, I went there and it was suggested that the problem may be due
to a "Hash Collision"

Who'd have thought?
