old posts

Any one know how to get rid of old posts? i seen to have 2-300 posts on some
news groups, but I dont want to unsubscribe?

 

Right click on the group and choose 'Catch up'.
Right click again and choose 'Properties / Local file'.
Press 'Delete' and then 'Compact'.

 

Have you tried "Hide read messages" ?

 

ok. u need to make a "rule" for news group postings.. as follows:-

tab extras>>postrules or something (excuse me for the inacurate transaltion
but i am using the german version of windows)>>news>>new ruleand tick in the
upper box "if older than" in the bottom box tick "delete" then in the very
bottom box click on the blue highlited "string" and a new window will appear
type in there whatever u desire and any posts older than what you typed in
will be deleted... this rule stays in action until u change/delete it

Click on that newsgroup, then hit delete. Then resubscribe and click on
NEW MESSAGES ONLY. Resubscribe the same way you subscribed in the first
place.
