I've had great success using OE as a newsreader. There are other solutions,
you might want to try one of them first. If they work, as in you see
messages from this newsgroup, then you might want to unsubscribe this group
from OE. The quit OE, reload it and resubscribe to the newsgroup. If THAT
doesn't work then you might have a corrupted profile. You could try adding
a 'new' newsgroup account to OE with your same news server info and then add
this group it it. If even THAT doesn't work then you might have to create a
whole new profile for OE. I doubt that'll be necessary, but anything's
possible. Start by trying a different newsreader program on your PC.

Thanks Bill,

I'll ask Shaw if they know anything about this. Some newsgroups do come in
fine, but not this one. But first, I'll try deleting my kill file - even
though it has only a few spammers and trolls in it.

Uh, think about it... Apparently it DOESN'T update fine. Otherwise

you'd
see messages. Bug the new server admins at shaw.

But in the meantime try using a different news reader program. There's
one
built-into the Thunderbird mail program. Try using that to see if

there's
perhaps something wrong with your Outlook Express setup.

Seems to update fine, I see your new posts, but don't see those from

anyone
else - not even my own message. Shawmail is server.

Ask your news admins to find out why. News is spread across

thousands
of
NNTP servers. None of us are likely to be seeing the same set of
messages.
Within a few minutes/hours/days most decently connected servers will
get
updated. So if you don't see messages on the server, well, it's not
getting
updated and it's admins need to fix it.
