There are a couple reasons why it might not, however. First, there's a get X days worth of headers option and a get the last N headers option. You didn't happen to do one of those instead of get new headers I don't suppose? Second, you say there are posts in the middle, but how do you know that? If you don't specifically know that they are on your server (you checked with a different news client, say), perhaps the server hiccuped and doesn't have the missing days' messages to download. Third, maybe there's something strange going on with the xref numbering (per group serial numbered per server, normally) on your server. It could also be a pan bug, but I'm not sure how to debug it. Maybe Charles has an idea. Anyway, presuming it's not a server or xref sequence issue, the get headers from server dialog, using the get N days or get N recent headers, should hopefully cure the issue. Last time I tried something similar was before the duplicate posts patch (in 0.113 or 0.114 I think) and I ended up with a bunch of duplicates, but that issue /should/ be resolved now, so hopefully it works without issue for you. You might also try deleting the ~/.pan2/groups dir, or only the files therein from the offending groups if it isn't all of them. I'd actually rename instead of delete, to test it, then delete if it fixed the issue or restore the old files if not and you don't want to lose the data therein. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
