Careful, Charles, about recommending blowing away the entire thing. Some of us have customizations we would be rather unhappy if we lost, particularly if we did so just following instructions to fix an entirely unrelated problem. It appears it's the files in the groups subdir that need to be blown away, possibly along with the newsrc files. Do that and redownload and re-mark-read as needed. That'll keep most other settings and cache intact, more so if blowing away the newsrc files can be avoided. ...

(ask Duncan about having more than two tiers) I like that pool description. Cleared up the basically accurate but rather fuzzy concept I had of it, as well. =8^) As for more than two tiers, already answered in an earlier reply. =8^) >> - I'd like my times expressed in 24 hour format please. > > This would make a good preferences option. > Please open a bugzilla ticket for this. Glad you agree too. =8^) [snip the rest] -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
