Question: I'd like to combine the behavior of gnus-subscribe-randomly and gnus-subscribe-topics. That is, now that all the slashdot groups are appearing in my slashdot topic, I'd like to have the new ones appear at the top rather than the bottom as they do now. Anyone have any ideas? Question: Now with the addition of the slashdot backend, I have some backends that I want to check every once in a while and some that I want to check every single time I hit 'g'. Is group levels the way to do this? Are there other options--what if I wanted to check slashdot no more than once per 6 hours, say? Bug: the first time I enter a slashdot group, all is well--I can read articles, read comments, etc. But then later on, when gnus reports new messages, if I try to enter the group it immediately says "No unread news" and reports no new messages. It does this quite quickly, so I suspect that it isn't even contacting slashdot.org. -matt -- Matt Pharr mmp@graphics.stanford.edu
