Google Groups.
 
Google groups is no longer "talking to" news groups.
So anything you post on Google won't be seen on news groups if you
are using it. It just appears on the Google thing.

Time to abandon Google.
Pity, it was more user friendly.
..
So to Outlook Express.
I get mixed upon these long threads

Well that's a bit ****! I've been happily using Google Groups for
years. Looks like I'll have to go back to newsreaders. Although you'll
only see this if you're reading via Google Groups I guess!

Perhaps the time is coming to migrate ukdiy to a shock horror web
forum format. Maybe the server could provide a NNTP feed for those who
want it.

That would explain why there has been a sudden inrush of 2-3 day old posts.

No, because I am scared I won't like it and there will be no 'go back
to the old groups' button

Always starts in old groups, you have to deliberatly switch to new groups every time.

Haven't noticed that. This group generally doesn't get too spammy on
Googlegroups.



It doesn't get spammy at all if you filter out everything sourced from
googlegroups. That's where the c** originates. Just get a proper
newsreader (NOT Outlook distress) & filter the rubbish. :-)
