Anyone know how to change back from the so called New version?
I deleted all my history and stuff now I am stuck with this empty cod piece.

All I can say is it smells of cock.
Even the complaints box stinks of google code sorting.

Yes I know I aught to pay for a decent service but why should I pay to teach people?

(Stuff like this would cost 30 quid on Jstor and not supply any useful service to man or beast:
http://my.opera.com/Weatherlawyer/bl...omment96607062. Would you pay to tell a bunch of know nothing that will do nothing with what you tell them?)

This is the one.
a. How did you find it?
b. How do I keep it?
c. Is Google learning to paint by numbers?

I think that the mindset of Google's owners is learning from their own
computer designs. They have got software in the head.

Another classic is the shaped adverts. I don't think I have ever been
sop annoyed by adverts since Flash was invented to annoy Windows
users.

When they invented their version of Google Groups a few years back I
wondered at the puerile attempt to confuse us with the Usenet site
they bought out a long time before that.

But now they seem intent on foisting it back on to the rest of us who
have stuck with their machine.

Anyone got a list of alternative online "readers"?

Wow.
Fancy rushing to be first at that time of night and ending up looking
sillier than me.

Why not use a proper usenet client and server?

When you find yourself on the new Google groups and you're logged in,
you can revert to the old-style groups by going to the tools pulldown
menu (the thing near the top right with the cog icon) and choosing
"revert to old Google groups". This will get you back there at least
until you delete cookies again.


HTH. The new version seems to have been designed by half-wits.

I tried that but the half wits were more than capable of dealing with
me.

Chuckle, why not just ignore googles usenet fiasco and use a reader, I mean
even Microsofts readers are better than Googles overblown mess.

Plenty of free usenet clients and servers out there. Only cost is a
little bit of your time in setting up and finding a client you can get on
with. http://www.eternal-september.org is a free server and has a good
reputation.

I and many others use http://news.individual.net that costs a whopping
EUR10/year (about seven squid) but is very reliable, fast, actively and
very effectively filters the spam. I probably see more spam by people
quoting it than I do directly.

I'm not sure they had that much wit.....half sounds like a compliment.
Hmm...I wish I could find that on my settings menu - it doesn't seem to be there - only 'set new google groups as default'.

Oddly, if I look on my desktop at work, it shows the old version.

I thought I had set up an account for this on Thunderbird to get away from the new improved Google,
but after one post it wouldn't play any more. All round a bit of a pain going from a simple system to
something that takes a lot of input just to work moderately.
Ah well...
