What are you using as your news reader? Have you got it set up correctly? I
use News Tap and in the column headed groups pressing the + sign in the
header brings up an almost infinite list of groups

With the "always auth" box ticked, you've avoided the usual TB vs ES
pitfall.

ES isn't my main server, but I have an account there and it's ok right now.

I seem to remember Ray replied to a couple of users, saying the prcess
that deletes unused accounts had been overzealous and had deleted some
it shouldn't have?

check the ES website to see if you still have an account, and re-create
if necessary ...

I cannot understand why anyone uses ES instead of investing 10 Euro a
year in News.Individual.NET which never seems to have the same
problems.

I have always been happy to pay the 10 euros but this year I find that
paying by paypal' as a guest, my credit and debit cards are rejected
(paypal or my bank I don't know) and the bank transfer details are not
accepted by my online banking.

I may need to try ES shortly
