You 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). 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: 1-3646,3925-4501,5948,5949,5953,5977,5983,5998,6001 So 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). _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
