I chose to add nnslashdot to my secondary selection methods and to switch my gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method from gnus-subscribe-zombies to gnus-subscribe-topics. The question I have now is what happens to my new non-nnslashdot groups? They used to show up as zombies but now I'm just not sure. Should they show up under my Gnus topic and not in any of my other subtopics? So far, none have shown and I don't know if that's because there truly aren't any new ones of if because there is a problem.
