Well I have both. In .newsrc there are just the following two lines: gnu.emacs.gnus: 1-89003 gnu.emacs.help: 1-228165 In .newsrc.eld there is (setq gnus-topic-alist ...) so maybe I could just bin that. > In .newsrc.eld it says > > ;; Never delete this file -- if you want to force Gnus to read the > ;; .newsrc file (if you have one), touch .newsrc instead. > > But that's almost never a good idea.

My init.el just contains (add-hook 'gnus-group-mode-hook 'gnus-topic-mode) as it has for many a moon. I have fiddled around a bit I can now get topics to show without the 'wrong type argument' error. However, the topics are behaving strangely. If I try to unindent the topic 'FU that is displayed as indented, i.e. as a subtopic, I get the error Nothing to indent Drafts into where 'Drafts' is the topic under which 'FU' currently and incorrectly appears (the amount of indentation makes 'FU' actually look like a subsubtopic of 'Drafts'). Other topics exist, but I can only see them if I explicitly do a 'jump to topic'. If I then fold the parent topics and then try to unfold them, I get a 'no group on current line' at some point. So basically the whole hierarchical structure of the topics seems borked, so I would really like to throw it away and start anew, as I only have around a dozen topic.
