Mac Forum / General / Networking / April 2005MT Newswatcher Question
When I read an article it receives the "read" checkmark. When I come back to the group the next day, all the "read" checkmarks are gone. What do I do to retain the read checkmarks from day to day? Thanks in advance... > When I read an article it receives the "read" checkmark. When I come > back to the group the next day, all the "read" checkmarks are gone. It's not mssing check marks. All artiucles markes as "read" aren't fetched the next time. > What > do I do to retain the read checkmarks from day to day? Use an offline newsclient, like MacSOUP. However, it is just an issue of the articles not being fetched by MT-NW. If they are still on your newsserver, you can still fetch them when you want. MT-NW offers many different ways.

Are you opening the group from the Full Group List ("All Groups on <server>") window, or from a separate window that shows only the groups you're subscribed to? If you open a group from the Full Groups List window, then as soon as you close the group, MT-NewsWatcher forgets which messages you've read. The next time you open the same group the messages will all be "unread". If you open a group from a subscriptions window, MT-NewsWatcher only shows you the messages that you haven't read yet. It won't show you the ones that were previously marked as "read". There are several ways to get MT-NewsWatcher to show you those older messages, but I believe they all result in the messages being marked as "unread", so you won't see any checkmarks. See the online manual for more info: <http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/docs/Starting.html#Reading_Old_Articles> In article <wayne.morris-1F89EE.16071722042005@shawnews.wp.shawcable.net>, > > When I read an article it receives the "read" checkmark.

That answers my question fully. > When I read an article it receives the "read" checkmark. When I come > back to the group the next day, all the "read" checkmarks are gone. What > do I do to retain the read checkmarks from day to day? > > Thanks in advance... In the news server news group window right click on the news group you want to see all the posts on. A contextual menu will pop up and choose Mark articles unread. You will then see all of the posts in that news group that are on your news server. SignatureTelamon Ventura, California |
