Re: Help requested with newsgroups

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Under View | Current View, I have selected "show all messages" and "group
messages by conversation."

Also check the View | Current View and see what options you have set.

I don't know if this is the correct newsgroup for this question. If not,
I would appreciate it if you can direct me to the correct one.

I use OE to read newsgroups (Win XP-Home Edition). My server is
news.cox-internet.com. A frequent problem I have is that if someone
inadvertently uses the same title for a thread as one that has been used
in the past, that thread will not show up on the newsgroup -- my reader
seems to act as if it is an old, expired thread, but I can see the
message if I use google. In fact, it happened to one of my own messages,
which is what "inspired" this question. I used Ping: Name of Person, but
that person had been pinged some time ago. The result was that my own
message did not appear on my reader, and I had to go through google to
look for a response.

Is there any way around this? Have I set something incorrectly?

Thanks,
MaryL
