I am using newsbin as a reader and giganews as my provider. There is supposed to be a 1000+ day retention. As I have been hoping things here would come back to life(and accepted sadly they probably never will), I started finding some older items in other areas. For a little while I was able to retrieve some items, but lately when I grab posts I want to get, newsbin simply says 'pending' and goes no further.
Another quirk... when I use SEARCH, I can find older headers but when I go directly to a group and select download ALL HEADERS I only get a year or so worth of them.
I am interested in accessing the stuff (in other groups... chak 4 example) that is old as for me it could possibly be new. I am sorry to be a pathetic lurker, and I do want to thank the couple of people (especially Dannyboy) who have helped with some of my questions in the past.
So my first question... is there something I need to change in my reader settings to get to this stuff? Sometimes even posts that are only a few months old remain stuck on 'Pending', while others still download as normal. I am confused by this.
If a little explanation rolled up in a .rar file with SB's 2nd (less used) PW (or whatever PW you want) would be posted, I would appreciate it. I do not monitor my email as I was advised to abandon it so a post here would be good.
One more question.... Is there another place I can go to visit to run into my old friends again?
Just taking a chance someone like Danny sees this and might consider a bit of information... No need to respond with negative or insulting posts. I know there's a select group and I know I a part of it. I also know there are a few good people out there who understand what we all go through.
Cheers all, and be good.
