"Mark as read" doesn't seem to be working for me. I keep getting the
same week old messages. Is it me, or are Virgin messing with the server
again?

All groups, or just one or two?

If the latter, right click, properties, "repair folder" on the affected
ones(s)

Thanks Andy. It's all the groups but I'll try the repair option anyway

If you want just text groups, why not use a different server like Eternal
September or similar.

It may come to that, but Virgin is the devil I know :-)

I got ****ed off with Virgin newsgroups not working a few months ago so I
tried Eternal September.
It is free and it always seems to work.
I am crap with computers and had to play with the settings. No big deal.
Just find out the settings to change before you do it. Brian will know.
You can always go back to Virgin.

are you downloading again or just ereading again?

If you want read messages to 'disappear' use the view-threads-unread
option

and how hard it is to achieve it.

Yes, that is my default view. I'm still getting the odd few messages
from 10th April with a "no such message" message if I click on them

Or virgins will.

Sounds like something has gone wrong with the message indexing... not
uncommon on BM by many accounts

Not unheard of from TB either, if messages have been cancelled between
header collection and body download, when it does happen TB gives you a
link to clear out all non-existant messages

Yup, that will also happen on very old messages that have been recently
expired on the server.
