My UseNet server is eternal-september, so I think the name is something like newsrc-news.eternal-september.org. If so, can I edit the file, or might it just be easier to delete the group from my UseNet account and then just re-subscribe?? TIAYou can easily find the path to the file this way: Edit|Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings|news.eternal-september.org|Server Settings - and there you will find under 'Message Storage' the path to the newsrc file. Example: Linux /home/<user>/.mozilla/seamonkey/<userprofile>.default/News/newsrc-news.eternal-september.org Windows C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\<userprofile>.default\News\newsrc-news.eternal-september.org Click the 'Browse' button and you'll be taken to the file folder. Look for the newsrc file for the appropriate newsgroup (newsrc-news.eternal-september.org).
Thanks for this, NoOp. That is basically what I was doing, where I was going, but I don't get a chance to Edit it, either using Right Click or Organise.
You can edit if you wish, but it's not easy as you get something like this:alt.comp.linux: 1-1480,1489,1493-1497,1529-1532,1534,1570-1572 alt.os.linux: 1-7071,7132,7333,7784-7786,7791,7796,7804,7806,7812,7814,7817,7819,7822,7825,7841,7846,7847,7872,7873,7964-7966,8048 alt.os.linux.debian: 1-3934,3979,3981,3983-3987,3993,4000,4008,4013-4021,4024,4026-4028,4030,4035,4050,4069,4070,4072,4074,4076,4077,4079,4086,4103,4695-4697,4699-4703,4706,4711,4712,4716,4728,4729,4737-4743,4746-4777,4812,4814,4815 alt.os.linux.mint: 1-3646,3925-4501,5948,5949,5953,5977,5983,5998,6001So unless you know what all of that means & how to edit it, I recommend just unsubscribing and resubscribing as suggested by others in this thread. Alternate is to close SeaMonkey and delete the .msf files for the group (look in the actual newsgroup folder) & restart SeaMonkey - that is pretty much to the same as unsubscribing and resubscribing, but keeps the group in the same location instead of placing it at the bottom of the list of subscribed groups (helpful if you've already arranged your groups by subject etc).
Yeap. As I understand it, the numbers represent the Read message numbers in each group. I figured if I edit ed the appropriate group to be, e.g. "alt.os.linux: "with no numbers after it, that would indicate that there were no Read messages so everyone would appear as Unread!!
As I don't seem to be able to Edit the file, I might end up UnSubscribing/Re-Subscribing as you suggest (after I read the other responses .... thanks fellas!).
