how do I get more days to show up in this forum. All I get is the day I look
at. For example if I look 8/8/03 I see nothing but 8/8/03 stuff. and I
don't get back on until 8/10/03 I just get the 8/10/03 stuff and I am
missing 8/9/03.
please help
thanks
 
Clear the checkbox for "get XXX headers" and you'll get them all.

The way you synchronise ( download messages ) needs to suit you. However, when you set up a new newsgroup check the box in Tools, Options, Read, Get xxx headers at a time (you can change the default to any number between 50 and 999). Set the synchronisation to New not All. Then select Tools, Get next xxx headers, after downloading has completed select Tools, Mark for Offline and then select Synchronise, Newsgroup and only those Marked. Remove the check mark in Tools, Options, Read, Get xxx headers at a time. For all future downloads use Synchronise, preferably Synchronise All. Using the procedure described for a large newsgroup avoids downloading thousands of messages you may never read.

Another option if you read Online is to make your Synchronisation option Headers only. You then select and download bodies for only those messages you intend to read. Yet another alternative if you read Offline, is to use Headers only and then to Mark selected Headers whilst Offline and then Synchronise for marked messages reading the selected messages later Offline.

Hope this helps.
