Problems with nntp/http sync'ing again?

For the past few days I've been getting a number of threads that are missing
the original post using OE6. If I go the the web side, the post is there in
all it's glory.

Thanks,

 

Jeff,
That is often caused by someone replying to a post that is months or years old.
The search capabilities on the web side allow us to continue conversations ad-infinitum.
The newsreader side only loads new posts.

Hola Doug,

and how can I see my latest posts?.... are those gone when something like
this occurs?, I am neofite in the use of outlook express...

 

Hi Doug,
This is usually a correct assumption, and I can live with the occassional
post replying to an old post. These, however I checked and they are, indeed,
posts started the same day as the replies.

And FWIW, my OE6 has most, if not all, threads back to Oct. 8 2002 which is
where the last 'maintenance' cut off old posts.

Jeff -

Probably your Outlook Express software is set to not show
messages older than a certain number of days. 5 days is the
default. If trying any of the remedies below doesn't work, please
reply back with a specific example so we can take a look.

In Outlook Express, if you want to get all the headers in one
shot, rmb on
the group, and go to Properties >> Local Files Tab >> Reset.
That will
remove everything from the group. Then RMB on the group and go
to
Synchronization Settings >> Headers Only.

Finally without going into the group by left clicking during all
this, go to
Tools >> Synchronize All. Allow it to run and it should get all
the
headers in one shot.

----
Microsoft Outlook Express 6
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;171164)

Go to tools/options/maintenance and uncheck delete news messages
x days
after being downloaded. You will then retain all messages.
Right click on
the discussion.autodesk.com and choose reset groups. Redownload
the
messages.

or

Menu item "View"MISSING , "Current View" choose "Show all
messages"

Also choose "Tools" - "Options" -"maintenance" and unclick
"Delete read
message bodies in newsgroups" and "Delete messages older than
____ days"

or
more information may be found at msnews.microsoft.com
/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress or at
"Inside Outlook Express" at http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/

 

I also cannot see most of my latest posts.... but they are upstairs... on
the web browser...

and same as Jeff... the Re: Load lisp reactors is all I see.....

 

And bewteen 11:45 am PST and 12:23 pm PST the missing posts mysteriously
appearred......I went from 2 unread posts to 48 in the blink of an eye....
;-)

 

Jeff,
I am seeing the same things you are. This morning, the first posts on a lot of
threads were missing. Now they are back. Thanks for noticing. Seems like
someone cleared the log jam.

Doug

 

Hi Luis,
Must have been something out of sync with the NTTP server as Jeff suspected.
You should see it now.

Doug

 

It isn't always OE (operator error) : )

 

Who said it was?

 

I always use
Tool >> get next xxx headers to load NG

A problem with the server was found yesterday afternoon and
fixed. The problem with non-synching messages should be fixed.
Several hundred messages showed up immediately after the repair
and I have seen no RE: problems this morning.
