Did you try resetting the local file?
Very often just resetting the LF[1] is enough, but if the news server
address has changed in any way, or if it has been redirected during the
transferral from free to paid, what you did is the correct procedure.

(for those who don't know):
[1] I don't know if Forte Agent has the same issues as with Outlook Express,
very often, a group becomes 'fragmented' and lot's of posts are
appearing without their original posts, this is because OE stores downloaded
messages and headers in a seperate 'folder' for each group, as this folder
expands, it becomes fragmented, lot's of 'bits' of conversations and
threads, to reset it, right click on the group namepropertieslocal
filereset - click yes to the warning about deleting all, then click
compact, when you open the group again, it downloads all fresh messages and
posts.
