Newsgroup subscriptions keeps disappearing
Seamonkey 1.1.14, WIN XP SP3 One of my newsgroup listings on the left pane keeps losing all its subscriptions. The newsgroup happens to be to msnews.microsoft.com. It has been there for years and subscriptions come and go as I add and delete. I always refresh the subscription list when ever I add or remove. Yesterday, I noticed all my subscriptions under the MS newsgroup were gone (no + next to the NG name/no subscription names under it). I went into the account, added back one subscription, which was OK. But, later, I don't know whether it was when I re-started Seamonkey or restarted the computer, but the subscription was gone again. This has happen four times now. I have deleted the NG and added a new one for ms. Too early to report that the new one is stable. I am wondering what could cause the repeated loss of the subscriptions? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I am wondering what could cause the repeated loss of the subscriptions? others have complained about similar problems with newsgroups, especially the MS ones. Then again, I've never experienced any such problems. Thanks Peter, How does this happen(rhetorical question)?, I know not. I venture it may be some combination of intermediate/temporary RAM memory failure and writing back to news and/or some other HDD files. This happened on an Intel Centrino Core Dual computer. There have been suggestions and suspicious that this technology creates unexpected results. The newly created MS NG account is stable, at least for today. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I'm only taking a guess here but maybe this might help: when you remove the account, close SM, and remove all the left over files in the News section of the SM profile. -- *IMPORTANT*: Sorry folks, but I cannot provide email help Emails to me may become public Notice: This posting is protected under the Free Speech Laws, which applies everywhere in the FREE world, except for some strange reason, not to the mozilla.org newsgroup servers, where your posting may get you banned.
