Is there something wrong with this ng, or is it my pc, but users replies are appearing as new posts. This is useless as they are out of context without the rest of the thread, like finding the last chapter of a book without the rest. What the hells going on, or is it user brain fade ? Steve
Newsreader programs, and things like Google as well; are set to *only* download messages originating from a certain date and forward. If an original posting predates this setting, only the more recent replies will be displayed.
well, blueyonder is not a real good isp...did you ask them or check to see if they are having problesm? clear your cache lately?

That's the way it's always worked with Netscape...don't see why it would be any other way - a reply is a new post. Just not a new thread.
That could be due to any number of reasons but are you sure you have your newsreader (Outlook Express, apparently) configured to display threads properly?
You can customise your settings by going to "Edit" then click on "Preferences" and then to "Disk Space". Pick your time limits there. All thi is assuming you have Netscape. I haven't a clue what to do with Microsoft.
