I have used many different versions of Outlook Express and now Windows Mail
as my Newsreader, but one problem has never disappeared, which is missing
posts! I have also used numerous ISP's/news servers over the years too.
So, for example, intermittently when I reply to a post, I am unable to see
the reply I have posted, but I will get people responding to my 'invisible'
post (so it is obviously visible to the rest of the world). If I reset the
newsgroup and download again, then I can see the post, but is a pain in the
arse to keep doing this, particularly as you loose your watched posts.
There have been a huge amount of people complaining of this over the years,
but for some bizarre reason, nobody is able to give a decent explanation and
fix. I gave up years ago, but am hoping that since then, there is now an
actual explanation for this phenomenon.
So, the question, years on, does anyone know why this happens?
