Trying to access the same posting, the top-level one for this thread.
It is from 10 April 2020, 23:32 (my timezone, your mileage may vary).
This attempt is from another profile on another machine, one where
I have previously replied to this very post myself.
Any help?
<https://groups.google.com/g/mozilla.support.seamonkey/c/irD_2_--VPo>
I had to get to messages 391-420 from the main archive to find it.
Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for.
Is this some deficiency with Seamonkey's handling of large Newsgroups
or has someone started deleting old messages? I don't remember this
happening back when I was using 2.49.4.
Answering my own question, I don't have this problem with
mozilla.general of any of the lower-traffic newsgroups I'm using on
this server. It looks to me as though mozilla.support.seamonkey has
lost most of its history.
Don, if I set my SM 2.49.1 to View -> Threads -> All, I can see that, at
17:14 (my time) 06/08/19, you replied in a thread in this newsgroup
titled "Seamonkey mail ebay". Can you not see this??
I'm guessing there is only so much storage allocated to each newsgroup
and once that space is full the messages are over-written.
Hmm! Perhaps if we snipped better, the older threads would last longer!!
;-P
And then, just as I was snipping my post, I see a reference to
groups.google.com, maybe their storage is lessor than what mozilla
allocate!!
Curious - I can see the posts in that thread. Not just the headers, the
content as well.
Now to your other hypothesis: I read/write these posts via Seamonkey
Mail/News on the server news.mozilla.org. My understanding is that this
is the "primary", other News providers such as groups.google.com read
and write to this server. In Walt S48's first post yesterday he gave me
a link to Google groups - it is in this mail, you did not snip it - and
I confirmed to him - also in this mail, unsnipped - that his link worked
and that the information I was looking for was there and had solved my
problem.
In another of my posts in this thread I said that the mozilla.general
newsgroup on the same server does not seem to suffer from the problem.
There are actually more postings in Mozilla General than in this group
although I filter+delete on several criteria there so I can't supply
numbers. Both are over 110 000.
