nnultimate w/AVS Forum

Can someone else try the latest CVS version of nnultimate with
http://www.avsforum.com/ubbtivo/, and see if it works for them?

I want to make sure it's not just me before I start hacking.  Current
symptom: no groups seen.

This is what happens for me:

I use topics.  If I try to browse the avsforum then I have all my
topic labels, but no groups listed.  If I then hit "t" to toggle out
of topics, I see a listing of all groups that are Zombies.  However,
no ultimate groups.  If I do a "S Z" to get rid of zombles, and then
try to browse, my display is empty (no groups).  Pressing "l" shows me
my subscribed groups.  Pressing "t" gets me back to topics.

No ultimate groups show up.

I have the same problem with nnslashdot.  Maybe after teh ultimate
stuff is figured out we can figure out why slashdot is behaving the
same. ..

BTW: the url I tried for the tivo stuff is:

http://www.avsforum.com/ubbcgitivo/

I'm using topics, too, and I see exactly the same behaviour.

Hmmm... nnslashdot is working for me.  I'm autosubscribing with this,
which is probably overkill:

(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups  '((nnslashdot ""))
      gnus-auto-subscribed-groups (concat gnus-auto-subscribed-groups
					  "\\|^nnslashdot")
      gnus-options-subscribe "^nnslashdot")

if that makes any difference.

Must have mis-typed.  That's the one I'm using, too.
