Color coded server list in post window

Post by dsmcd01 »

Hello...

In a version prior to 3.8, the server dropdown list in the post window would be color coded. Green for servers attached to the newsgroup and Red or unattached servers.

Sure do miss that in my 3.8. Is that a setting somewhere or is that feature gone.

Thx,
D.

maybe you've lost your newsgroup list, newspro takes all the data from there, it is not the subscribed newsgroup list but rather list of all newsgroups available on the server.

when you download newsgroup list ensure properties->general->force server authentication is checked, since sometimes servers return a different list when not logged on.

Thank you. Refreshing the newsgroup list did the trick. My last re-format I didn't refresh the list, just exported/imported the newgroups and servers.

Thanks again,
D.
