TB 3.0: Certain operations on certain ng's hang

[Dudley Brooks]

I recently started using 3.0 as my e-mail and newsgroup reader. Certain
ng's cause it to hang when doing View/Threads/Unread. So far this
happens only with the ng's from Sibelius Music (a music notation
product), so I have also posted this to one of their ng's. But it
didn't happen with TB 2.0, so I am posting it here.

I'm mystified: Isn't viewing unread threads purely a function of the
client? If so, why would only certain ng's cause a problem?

FWIW, the Sibelius ng's are privately hosted by Sibelius. Does that have
anything to do with it? Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

Thanks.

Right, this problem is related to Tb, not that NG. Tb generally hangs
when index file (.msf) becomes corrupted. You can do following.
Unsubscribe from that NG.
Close Tb.
Goto Tb profile folder / News / Folder of that news account.
Delete that ng related files.
Start Tb.
Subscribe to that ng.
