Xnews question

[ms]

I am trying to iron out a few issues with Xnews as I basically like the
way it works. I don't mess with all the fancy settings in Xnews, I just
want to look at posts, threads, create message and reply. I don't change
defaults for read/unread, scoring, etc.

1. I was advised that there is no way to get it to open a newsgroup with
the Open Special sliders preset at a particular setting.

I beg to differ. On other newsgroups, like
microsoft.public.win2000.general, or alt.comp.anti-virus, the sliders
remain at my setting, and each time it opens that newsgroup, it loads the
same number of headers.

But only in ACF, the sliders are always at the 0% (left) end, and each
time have to be reset.

I don't change any other settings in Open Special, so why is it
different, and how to make the ACF setting permanent?

2. Frequently, my OP disappears. I create an OP. Maybe the next day it's
there, with a reply. But sometimes all I see is the reply, I never see
the OP. Each day I load about 3000 headers, so surely I should see it.

What's happening here?

Advice?

TIA

Not an answer but some advice, Mike.

I think you really should ask this question in the NG
"news.software.readers". There are a *lot* of Xnews users there,
probably more so than most other clients, you would most likely get
some good help there.

Thanks, Mike, Will give it a try.
