It sounds like something may be corrupted... or set read-only. I have a similar problem here that I've not investigated yet. A few of my groups are not updating in my main pan instance. I tried subscribing to them in my test instance and they grabbed new overviews fine. I then tried transferring them back to my main instance, and it saw them, but still refused to grab new overviews from the server, and refused to (permanently) mark the transferred ones read, as well, just as you indicate is happening to you. I ended up deleting them and ignoring the problem for now, even tho that means I'm currently not following those groups, because when I tried messing with it further, other groups started having issues, and I didn't have time to do a full investigation. So there's something strange happening. I'm not sure what or how to fix it, but I can confirm it. Maybe one of these weeks things will quit being so crazy at work and I'll have a bit more time to investigate, and bug-file as necessary. Or maybe you'll get to it first... but anyway, yes, I can confirm some sort of funniness going on. It may be corruption, it may be something weird in pan, but something strange is happening. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
