This is most likely a hoax Must be a Hoax, this is an unmoderated newsgroup. Probably uses some ISP that doesn't like newsgroups instead of "news.individual.net" which we both use. -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |

On News.individual at least a load of posts appeared and were then deleted within around ten minutes - a line appeared through them in the message window.

Wanadoo is hopeless with this sort of thing. None of the techies appear to know the first thing about newsgroups and freely admit they aren't trained in any way to deal with newsgroup queries. I'll use letters. a) go to your main NewsReader window. b) In the left hand pane, Right Click on the uk.rec.gardening folder. A menu should appear c) Select [Properties] d) Click on the [Local File] tab at the top of the dialogue box. e) click on the [reset] button. Then close that box. f) Then from the main menu along the top of the main Window, select [Tools] g) And then select [ Get the next 300 (or whatever) Headers ] michael adams ... -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon ) |

That's interesting as the floods were predicted a week or two ago. I think "consider it done!" was the reply from someone in alt.troll in reply to flooding this newsgroup.

I'll use letters. a) go to your main NewsReader window. b) In the left hand pane, Right Click on the uk.rec.gardening folder. I don't have a right/left click mouse.

Then close that box. f) Then from the main menu along the top of the main Window, select [Tools] g) And then select [ Get the next 300 (or whatever) Headers ] The only thing I can find at present is under View and it allows me to select to see only unread messages. I'm sure I'm missing something extremely easy but we start with the problem that my mouse doesn't do what you ask in your second instruction. Many thanks for trying to help. I'll fiddle about tomorrow and see if I can improve matters somehow. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon ) |
