Is anyone else having problems viewing posts? I see more post when I go
through google groups, then through my outlook express.

I have OE but use Agent Forte. Works great. Why don't you try it?

Actually there is a free version of Agent. I have used the paid
version for years, but for text newsgroups the free version should be
quite adequate.

As for missing posts, I would suspect your Internet Provider (IP).
Unless you pay for a separate "usenet" service you may be limited by
what your IP has contracted to provide you.

Personally, I have subscribed to "giganews" for years. They keep
postings for 5 months. That is a lot of "retention," and can be a
hassle the first time you visit a group, but you can be assured of
getting everything.

I have only used Outlook Express on rare occaisions, so if your
problem is in the reader, I have no ideas except to suggest trying
"agent" from Forte.
