newsgroup problem

Dec 20, 2006 3 Replies

I just came on and even messages form 12/19/06 say Message is no longer available on the server and it didn't show any messages for the 20th?? Just wondering what the problem could be? Pami


I don't know, Pami, but I got on this morning after not being on for a couple of days and there was only one message. I knew that was not possible so unsubscribed and subscribed again and VOILA messages were here again. Maybe that will work for you, too.

Rochester Roadrunner has been doing some "updates and improvements" to their news servers so maybe that's your problem too. They suggested I unsubscribe then resubscribe to any newsgroups I was having trouble with.

I wasn't able to read the ngs for more than a week. Then I had to unsubscribe and subscribe again to be able to read them. I had been doing this for 5 or 6 days before it worked for me. Barbara in SC
