Yeah, now I can see and post, I have to open UF in a new tab in TB. I'm
trying it for a month to see it is better than giganews. E-S appears to
be useless.

TB is different from the last time I used it. It was on win-10, now on
win-11. I prefer the older version.

I am using TB but reading it with Agent 8. I think apn, Agents news
carrier or whatever one would call it gave up, so I stopped paying and
switched to TB.

Both Giganews and UF have monthly fees. E-S is free.
Just curious.

E-S is free but I can't anything but a handful of groups, hfx.general is
not one of them.

It works for me. This and the post about Sukiyaki were
sent by ES. Maybe you need a keyboard wrench.

Good to see you J V-G, I see you use google groups, presume you know
they are shutting down usenet at the end of February?

Oh… I thought I saw something about that. What a shame… what’s the best alternative?

I use Thunderbird combined with Agent 8 for reading. I see in the
Agent group there is talk about Agent leaving usenet but not for
awhile yet.
