Why are you still with them ?

Many reasons Graham, not the least of which is that I have a friend who
works for them, and is able to get problems resolved within the hour. Also,
I have a 20 meg uncapped connection, and no other system than NTL cable
comes close to that. Up until now, I have never had a problem, but today, I
started seeing error messages from the server sying that I could no longer
post. This afternoon, messages from NTL started appearing on the groups,
saying that they had 'migrated' to a new binary server with better this and
better that and to carry on, you would need to create a new account with
the new server name. Seems to me that this is bullshit, and all they are
trying to do is to get everyone over onto a Virgin Media server. I created
the necessary account and did a full newsgroup header download in OE, but
the groups did not appear to be updating. Posts were again accepted, but I
could not see them appearing, and it used to be pretty much instant on the
good old NTL server.

I've just given it another try on OE, but this time, it wouldn't even
connect to their rotten new bloody server, so I came across to X-News, and
that managed to connect ok, and I saw my posts, and the replies, so now I
am trying a 'reply'. I would prefer to get OE working correctly again,
because whilst X-News is a fine reader, i find OE a little better for
posting and thread watching, from a usability angle. Hopefully, normal
service will be resumed soon, and I will get back to normal on here. Right
then, here goes ...

it was mentioned in another newsgroup that they changed news servers
and that caused all messages to be renumbered. They had to delete and
resubscribe each newsgroup they read to fix the problem.

Hi Michael

Yes, I'm finding the same thing. It's just after 1 am here now, and the
house has gone quiet, so I can now sit down and sort all this properly. I
just deleted all mail accounts from my OE, and started again with a new
account on the new server name. It did the usual, and asked me if I wanted
to see a list of groups on the server, so I told it "yes" and it downloaded
70 odd thousand. Now I seem to think that there was actually more than that
on the old server, but whatever. Anyways, once it had, I searched out s.e.r.
and Lo! there it was, and there were my test posts, so I am now replying via
OE. I'll check in a mo, and see if it finds its way here. In the meantime,
all I've got to do now is to reset the flags on all the threads I was
following and partaking in, re-subscribe to all my 'regular' groups, and
then try to figure out how to delete an account in X-News. I have created a
new account that seems to work ok, but of course, the original (now wrong
server name) account remains as the default, and I can't see quickly, how to
get rid of it, or set the new account as the default. If anyone reading this
knows, please feel free to let me know ... d;~}
