A lot.

News interface. The FAQ explains it. I see the forum with thunderbird.

It wasn’t move, the posts are on the server. But the previous post’s
date is April, so chances are your newsreader and/or local server have
expired the articles.

and, all eight posts available here in TBird v14.0…
so i guess it may be a bug in TB’s online>offline>online coding…
or maybe they got wiped out by an accidental “Delete” button press
(before, he and i reset TB to require confirmation before dumping)…
or, i’ve seen reports of lost emails lately <http://tinyurl.com/c6o2al6>
and if TB can lose mail i guess it could nntp posts also…

All 8 posts are visible in my old TBird too, so AFAICT there’s no
reproduction of the alleged fault yet …

Argh! April! I didn’t notice that. I looked at “2012” and assumed that would be enough. I’m using a
test install of 12.1, using just Thunderbird without leafnode. Thunderbird downloaded “just” 2500
headers and apparently that’s not enough on some subforums. :-}
My fault then.
Huh? hold on… Thunderbird is showing posts from 2009 in the application subforum! Why would it
expire posts from April this year, then?
Even weirder. I have many posts from 2009 (not all, probably), none from 2010 and 2011, and then
2012 from May on.
So, it is not my fault, after all…
Is there a way to tell Thunderbird to fetch headers it did not pick before?

And not only in the application subforum. In the boot-login one, posts start in 2008-06 till -07,
then 2009-02 til -03, then 2012 since 2012-05
Isn’t it weird?
It has not picked the last 2500 headers. Who knows what algorithm it has used… or is it the nntp
server which does the choosing?

TB sometimes asks me how many headers and/or messages to download. I
always just tell it ‘download everything’ whenever it asks.
I think if you ‘manage subscriptions’ you may have the opportunity to
tweak settings.

Well, my ADSL is just 1 Mb, and my disk space in this test partition is limited: 15 GiB for all (no
home partition). It takes a long time to download all.

For future subscriptions to groups, not current ones. I can not trigger a download of previous
messages headers (or any message header).

its been like that for a very long time in TB…
that is, the only time you get a chance to pick how many headers you
collect is when first populating the newly subscribed groups…
however, if you delete that account with all its subscribe groups, and
then start over with a different account name, then you will trigger
another “initial” session…

Indeed. I unintentionally did that when I changed from foums.novell to forums.opensuse some half an
hour ago. It is a pain in the back! It resets all read posts to unread, it clears the “watched
thread” marks…
It doesn’t matter very much, as this 12.1 system is temporary and I’ll go back to my main system
(11.4) which I intend to upgrade to 12.1. There I use leafnode and I can store thousands of posts
and get anyone instantly. Or even change up-server without consequences.
Hibernation is working fine here (finally), so my remaining hurdle is mounting encrypted partitions.
