Thank You Quade for your response
I have finally got it to work but It is still a little clunky. I clear the newsgroup from the group category
and I change from field to subject field and change local field to internet then I clear the search entry field.
It then lets me search for a new poster.
# 2. Question. Watch would work great for "Updated post headers" But most of what I download are from older post. When I encounter a new newsgroup I really don't know which poster is agreeable to my needs.
I know I approach the Usenet from an older mentality. It seems as though most users are grabbing the "new" stuff where all the shortcuts and watch list and NZB files work to their advantage. They are not concerned with "headers" anyway. NZB is an across the board tool. That is the reason I left one Newsserver and join another because their claims of retention never met with reality. I finally found a Newserver that has about 95-98% retention but they carry a limited amount of newsgroups.
If you are recording current stuff you know what the file name will be and you really do not care what group it is in. You just let the search service find the NZB file and away you go. I track headers and it is a little more intensive.
Hey but that what makes Usenet fun. I have invested so much time and knowledge that I find it daunting to try the other Internet tricks. Ex. tor limewire and what ever else is out there. Thank heavens I finally invested in a great Newsreader where most of the work is done for me. I still know how to do things the Old Fashion way. I know I am further along in the curve than most people.
Thanks once again for your great service.
