No, it's not! If I set this to a level higher than some of my nntp servers, they don't show up at all!

I'm not sure what gnus-activate-level has to do with servers? It is about groups. All of my nntp groups have a level greater than 2 and yet they appear in my server list (I have gnus-activate-level set to 2). If you are talking about the groups, you can view all groups, whether activated or not, using L (gnus-group-list-all-groups) in the *Group* buffer. Alternatively, you can activate groups at any level with "C-u N g" (replace N with desired level, e.g. 5). -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.90.1 + No Gnus v0.18 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Alternatively, you can activate groups at any level with "C-u N > g" (replace N with desired level, e.g. 5). Yes, sorry, that was a bit confusing. All my nntp groups are at level 5, and if I start with gnus-activate-level at 4, the nntp server itself doesn't show up in the server buffer. Running `5 g' brings everything back to life, though.
