My newsreader is giving just old articles from 1/2 and
1/3 interspersed with a few recent posts.
And when I post, seems others can read and reply but
my original does not echo on my newsreader.
Have any other aol users experienced the same problems?
I recall reading complaints. I don't recall the fixes.
This message is also just a test to see if this article echos on the
newsreader.! ?
Sorry I took so long but I kept forgetting to write down the
info. If you use AOL's newserver, you can subscribe to
the newsgroups aol.newsgroups.bugs and aol.newsgroups.help.
It's monitored by volunteers who are willing to help you
if it's your problem. There were complaints last month
and I think, note that I can't recall well, it tended to
be user errors in that the posters were not using AOL's
newserver but google which is known to have latency aspects.
It's definitely AOL's usenet feed that's at fault. It went down at about
Xmas time and only a tiny fraction of the posts were getting through. In
the
end I gave up on it and went to news.individual.net and Outlook Express.
Looking on AOL's feed today it still isn't right a month later. I can can
spot many missing posts, including my own, that are there on n.i.n's feed.
Have you read the posts to the newsgroups I suggested to find out
if it's AOL's problem? They're (the volunteers) are pretty good
at poking AOL's people. Looking for posts that aren't there isn't
a very good way to do a systems analysis.
