No messages since March 26th... until today April 3rd?

[chicagofan]

Am I the only one who has received NO messages in this group since March 
26th?


I'm wondering if it's eternal-september.org, OR if it's because 
yesterday I unchecked the hardware acceleration option, after reading 
elsewhere about Chris' site and comments there.  Has anything changed 
about the Mozilla support server?

Perhaps you are. There's been dozens of posts in this group since the 
26th.

It isn't eternal-september, because that news server is not involved with 
mozilla groups at all. Mozilla newsgroups operate via giganews in a 
private sort of way.

Maybe it is your anti-virus application getting in the way? Why are you 
scanning outgoing news (and probably email) posts?

Mea culpa!  Eternal-September is my other news server and I had a brain 
lapse... forgot this one group is not on that server.


It's not an AV problem, and Avast is on default settings, except for 
timing of updates.  The only recent change, is the one mentioned.  I 
turned off acceleration, because I read other people were having 
problems with it... and VOILA... SM support group came back.  :)


Coincidence?

Still ... there's no need to scan in/outgoing messages. There is the real 
chance that such scanning can corrupt your mailboxes. I don't know why 
"acceleration" would keep you from receiving posts for a week, in only 
one newsgroup.

When exactly did you turn it ON?

I'll check their options. although I don't think it has anything to 
do with this.  :)

Neither do I.   I just read about other people having problems with it 
yesterday,

and decided to check my settings and change them, if it was on.



Coincidence?


When exactly did you turn it ON?



It was on when I downloaded SM 2.8 several weeks ago.  I don't remember 
if it was on in 2.72 previously.

So, it's been ON since several weeks ago, but you only stopped receiving 
posts in this group on March 26th. Then likely the "acceleration" was not 
the issue.

There could be a myriad of reasons why it failed, for a few days - and 
the most likely seems to me to be a discontinuing of accessing the group, 
for some reason or another. Perhaps an errant "Mark All Read" or 
something.

All I know is after turning it off, I could see messages here again.  :)

I don't remember the problems other people were having, or at what 
sites, but something I read at DSL reports after the announcement about 
Chris' site being updated and available made me decide to uncheck 
acceleration yesterday.


Maybe I was blacklisted?   :)
