Default weird goings on in this group

half my posts aren't appearing - I've made several replies over the past
week or two and aout half of them don't appear.
Also, I've noticed threads getting mixed up somewhere along the line,
replies obviously from other threads appearing in different threads, that is
to say, there's one in the 'laminate floor access' thread by 'Owain' which I
can't imagine has anything to do with laminate flooring as it concerns using
car body filler to stick down a steel box into a concrete floor......somehow
answers are going into other threads, yet the headers look correct.

Is anyone else noticing this? - yes I have reset the local file and
compacted the group, along with other regular PC maintenance

Ive noticed this but it only happens on my XP laptop, which I initially
thought was to blame.
If you are also getting this it must be down to Virgin, Are you ex BY or NTL
just curious as to which server you are hitting.
Ps if you hit reply to post the correct text is shown?

Yes the correct header title appears, but I've noticed weird replies in
other threads which obviously belong in completely different threads, but
bear the 'correct' subject header.

Have you tried unsubscribing and re-subscribing? Sounds like article IDs
are getting confused.

Yes. The posts on this server have been vanishing or not appearing for
a week. I raised it but of course no one else had had any trouble, so
i pushed off.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Phil L"
saying something like:

That's because of the ****Filter.
