I have problems to see new posts.
I posted about this in the annoucements thread, one of the few that work
reliably:
+++·······································
For example, these thread, started today, on applications:
openSuse 12.3 kde different cursor theme at login screen
java question and Evernote app (general)
Do not appear on nntp. This other:
Cannot change keyboard layout - Gnome 3.8 - OpenSUSE 12.3
has 2 posts on web, one on nntp. This:
alt+f2 or ctrl+alt+f* keys not working
has 9 posts on web, 7 on nntp. Hcw post from today is missing.
I’m testing with pan, no leafnode, and resubscribed 4 times at least.
Ie, today posts are not getting through on the application forum. Lets
see the install/boot/login forum. For instance, this post:
My system goes straight to grub rescue
is missing on nntp. This:
How do you remove an alien partition
Has activity today that I see on pan, but not in thunderbird, those made
by Hermes14. I have to bang leafnode on the head by resetting the
highwater mark.
Also I see code sections with broken wrap.
·······································
I tried again with the thread “openSuse 12.3 kde different cursor theme
at login screen” on the application forum - using pan directly connected
to nntp.opensuse.org. I opened the group, and I could not see it. The
groups are set to download new posts on entry. I resubscribed several
times already, no difference.
What it works is telling Pan to download ALL headers, not new headers
only. Or to download the headers of the last 120 days. THEN I get that
thread I mentioned, started today, and others.
On Thunderbird I do not see it, working via leafnode, so leafnode hasn’t
got that post either. In Thunderbird I resubsribed already to all the
groups, no difference.
What works in leafnode, is go to the
/var/spool/news/leaf.node/nntp.opensuse.org file, edit it, and edit the
line from
opensuse.org.help.applications 161733
to
opensuse.org.help.applications 161000
then run fetchnews again. This is basically the same as telling Pan to
download the last 100 days headers.
In the log I then see:

The highwater mark reads now “161733”, but notice that the last post I
downloaded was only “161625”, so no new posts will be retrieved
automatically, that mark is wrong.
The server does indeed have post 161733 (see log above), but it
corresponds to a post that has already been retrieved before. The posts
I miss were somewhere before that, from 161584 to 161625. Notice the
missing section marked with “(**)” above? Those are note lines I
removed, that’s a real jump at the server, those are the posts that were
not downloaded before, that were skipped because they are below the high
water mark.
Could the server be filling the holes of the posts that were not sent
during these days? Not the posts, but the numbers, like slots. No, this
makes no sense…
