I looked here the other day and most of the past posts are missing from this
newsgroup - on my computer. I have resynchronized, deleted and reinstalled,
and I still get only about 30 posts.. any ideas as to why?

Thanks

Scott

Some possibilities:

* Poor retention on AOL's news server

* Outbreak Express is only showing you "new" posts instead of all posts

I don't use AOL, just show as my email address.. and yes, I don't like AOL
either.

Perhaps Fraudigy has poor retention?
