PC Crashed - lost all newsgroups
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2005 11:51 pm
My PC froze so I had to reboot it. All the newsgroups I subscribed too have vanished. I'm also unable to make "Get newsgroup list" or "Rescan newsgroup list" do anything (i.e. no newsgroup lists are being collected from any server I am subscribing too despite all the server details having been retained.
What's annoying is I think that much of the required database data may still exist. The folder where it all was is 1.33Gb in size; 1.24Gb of this is the "Newsgroups" folder inside that.
Is there any way to make use of any of the data I have on my hard disk in these folders? Also, does anyone have any suggestions for how to retrieve up to date newsgroup lists or try to get UE to 'remember' what newsgroups I was subscribed too (ideally also getting back all the headers that I think I still have).
