Newsgrouplist question

Hello,

I have 2 questions regarding the newsgroup list.

When updating the newsgroup list, in NewsPro I could see with a click, which newsgroups are new in the list.

How can I do this with UE?

Is there also a way of finding newsgroups per day/moths like in articles. So to speak: list all newsgroups which have been created since Feb this year?

Thanks for an comments

did you miss usenet explorer quick filter completely?

if you check "new" it will show only new entries

you can also use "mark all old" to mark all newsgroups old.

in newspro there is a column "added" it shows the time when the newsgroup entered the database, not when it was created on the server the standard nntp protocol doesn't have such an option and the extended one there is something in docs list active.times but, e.g. i see now news.microsoft.com it doesn't work, probably not implemented anywhere.

Hi Alex,

no,ofcourse I did not miss out the fiter option, but I must then have done something wrong.
I noticed that there were 12 new groups available and I used the filter bar - but nothing came up as new. Hm, I have to do it again and have to find out, what I have done wrong.

But at least I am sure now, that it was the right way to do it.

Thanks Alex

i checked now "properties->general->mark new headers old on close view" has effect on the newsgroup list view as well, maybe to make exception for newsgroup list in the future but it is how it works now.

did you check the option in your settings? by default it is unchecked.
