What the hell just happened?
I just downloaded all the new headers in the groups I subscribe to and
there were a **** load of "New" headers that were several years old. These "New" messages were dated 2009 through today. My filters worked as they were suppose to, but still there were thousands that were shown as "New." I'm guessing it was my news server "Newsguy" that may have had a brain cramp. Did anyone else have this happen today? |

I sometimes make the mistake and click the wrong retrieve command icon. "...waiting for 50,000 headers. I hate when I do that. |

My newsfeed went down a few weeks ago, and one by one over a period of days my subscribed groups came back alive. All with "new" headers. |

Did anyone else have this happen today? According to Newsguy support: "With your NNTP newsreader you would need to flush all the header information and reload the message lists for your subscribed newsgroups. The article numbering had changed up and that should get your newsreader back in sync with the news server. If you had any questions please let us know." Once I Followed their instructions life is wonderful again. |

Did anyone else have this happen today? I load latest first but sometimes, maybe due to my errant typing, I get them in order of last first and have to go back and change the view. |
