Unread total?

Hi,

I have one group that was showing 2 new messages every time it updated,
but there where no new messages. I unsubscribed and subscribed again and
now it shows 5!. Groups are set to show _unread_ messages, tried it on
_all_ and still the same, any ideas how to clean it out?

Cheers

close the program, and using your file manager, locate the news
section within the TB profile. Then locate the *.msf files for that
group and delete them. Now restat TB. Does this solve your problem?

To locate your profile you need to read this:
http://www.mozilla.org/support/thund...profile#locate

but if you're using windows, then you should read this first:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...ddenfiles.mspx

You know you need a new housekeeper when: confronted about nothing
being cleaned, insists that "Scrubbing Bubbles does the work so I
don't have too."

Thanks for the info

That did not work, but I think I have found out the reason now.
I had someone in the newsgroup *plonked* and the filter was set to
_delete_ , changed it to _mark_ _read_ and it has stopped listing unread
messages

Thanks again for taking the time to help ...

Cheers
