Haven't been to the newsgroup in a while. Tried to click on a message and got the 'expired' message. After I cleaned it out, I only had messages going back 3 days!
Is that my newsserver or is this newsgroup 'dying'? Is there an alternative?
It's your news server. My server goes back about a month on this group.
thanks...will try to take it up with them. was able to find some more threads by going to google, but awkward.
how do you use google to find old messages??
go to Google, then groups, then type in some sort of search criteria and lots of threads will appear. BUT...it doesn't read as smoothly as most newsservers and you rarely get a chance to scan through lots of messages, only those which sort of match your search.
Does this help?
You can also go to the Advanced Group Search, and limit the groups which are searched, for example, by using *quicken*.
Or read them as regular newsgroups in Google Groups.
