  • WTF???

    From Bob Casanova@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 5 07:51:58 2024
    OK, so how did 123 posts from 2-5 weeks back get reposted?
    Or did my newsreader screw up?

    It's not just you.

    (I'm using Thunderbird 115.13.0, if that helps.)


    Happened here as well. As suggested elsethread likely a glitch at
    Eternal September.

    Ditto. But not only did a bunch of old articles reappear; it most of the
    groups I subscribe to the article count is also screwed up (that is,
    it's claiming there are 100s or 1000s of unread articles when in fact
    there are none).

    Almost certainly. I use Thunderbird and use E-S (unfiltered) and it got
    all the repeats, and Solani (lots of filters and what I normally read)
    where no extras turned up.

    Don't see it myself.

    Our server isn’t doing it I guess. I did notice a server outage and the entire Giganews website down a week or so ago.

    Sounds like the consensus is an E-S screwup. Not the first;
    won't be the last. FWIW, all the filters worked; everything
    in the repost list was a normal "allow". But that's local
    via Agent, not through E-S.

    Thanks, all.

    Must be an E-S newsserver glitch.

    Seems likely. I use E-S and experience the problem, too.

    Big time. Disk issues. If you're using E-S, subscribe to

    for the gory details.

    Thanks. That seemed to be the consensus, but it's good to
    have confirmation.

    Computers; stuff happens.
