I'm having a problem with getting new articles from my main news server, easynews.com. For some reason, the discussion groups I read there don't show any new articles since April 21 when I first start up Gnus. There have, of course, been many articles actually posted since then, and if I do M-g (for "gnus-topic-get-new-news-this-topic") on either a group or topic before entering a group, then the message count will be correctly updated, and upon entering the group, the messages since April 21 will indeed be displayed. If I then quit Gnus and restart it, the message counts and displays will again reflect the "April 21" problem I'm having. Even if I manually save (via "s") before exiting, upon restarting, there will again be shown the wrong message counts. I've tried all three values of "gnus-read-active-file" (nil, t, and 'some), to no effect. I've turned off an on "gnus-read-newsrc-file" and its "save" counterpart. I've tried with the agent enabled and disabled. I've searched Usenet via Google groups, but haven't found anything that has helped (this, along with the Gnus manual, is where I got the idea to try the above). Does anybody have any idea what might be the problem here? I have only two servers configured, easynews and gmane, and gmane seems to be working fine. Easynews is a binary-oriented newsserver, and it may well be that their "active file" isn't updated often or even correctly, but shouldn't setting "gnus-read-active-file" to nil get around even that kind of a problem? I'm really at a loss here, and hope someone might have at least some things to try.
