For the past three days, all the answers on this board are coming up each on a
separate line starting with Re:  instead of being compiled with the original
post.
It is making for a very long list of answers to go through and difficult to
follow each thread since the answers may not appear one right after the other.

Will check my filters again but just was curious if mine was the only one doing
this.

Thanks.

Have checked my preferences and will call AOL when I get a chance.

Thanks.

I'm on RoadRunner (an AOHell subsidiary, or maybe a parent company, I've
given up trying to figure THAT out) and always have problems with my news.
I attribute my problems to inept sysadmins who don't know how to configure
an nntp feed.  Very few sysadmins do know, because very few organizations
actually run nntp so it isn't something a typical admin encounters.

I called AOL technical support this morning and they helped me fix the problem
on my computer in less than a minute.  This particular thread is coming all up
on one line like it is supposed to.  Will watch it for a couple of days to see
if it remains fixed.  They think it was a corrupted file on my computer.  It
took four clicks of the mouse to cure the problem.

I have a brother-in-law who hates AOL  (never has used it but he doesn't like
to let the facts confuse him.) Anyway he has had nightmarish problems with his
server and still brags about it.  I think in all the years I have used AOL, I
have lost time due to server problems for about two hours total.  I get always
get a connection on the first try and usually at full speed.  The only time I
have a problem is AOL might be a little slow like during the recent snowstorm
if there is an unusually high amount of users at the same time.

JMHO

I did notice yesterday that I had some Re: and I didn't remember seeing the
original post either.  Would you mind telling me what the AOL tech. support had
you do to correct it.

Hi:

Here is step-by-step directions:

1) click on Start
2) click on Programs
3) click on America Online
4) click on AOL System Information
5) click on Utilities
6) click on Clear Browser Cache
7) click on Close

It seems that sometimes the cache needs to be cleared.  My newsgroup is working
fine now.

LOL at that as I sometimes get that message too. Alice I've been with AOL for
about 4 years and haven't experienced too many problems. The worst was the one
a couple of months ago when no one could see the postings on the newsgroups,
only people who had AOL.

I have had problems trying to down load a software demo from Swiftweave.
It is a drafting program that does not come cheap so I would like to try
ot first.  I am still having problems with it, do get all kinds of no
relating messages.  Finally after telephone calls....remember we used to
phone when we wanted to buy something, they E-mailed what we thought was
the demo to my son in the States.  Now it looks like they have given me
the real stuf, but naturally, since I have not payed for it, without a
serial number I can't use it or try it.....

Sigh.....

The real thing may also be the demo version except that it may be
programmed to stop working after a certain amount of time (so you can
test it) or it may have some functions disabled until you give it the
proper registration code (for which you'd have to pay the full price).
Give it a try anyway = much software that's available to download
works this way.

Good luck -
