Rec.photo.digital

I am having trouble getting into this newsgroup. I have gotten very useful
info from there in the past. Recently when I try to access the group, my
computer goes berserk! Any suggenstions? I have unsubscribed & re upped but
with the same dishartening results.
TIA,
Nana

Ask your news service provider (looks like Comcast, from here) if your
problems continue.

I'm wondering if it's because it is so busy. This ng is quick to open
as there's hardly any traffic, whereas rec.photo.digital is a heavy
traffic group. I used to have the same problems when I visited a
particular poetry newsgroup where one troll posted massive amounts of
stuff every day. problem is I can't recall if it was a cache problem I
had to fix myself or something the ISP solved. I have a feeling though
that it was a corrupt file in my client and I had to clean it out, but
that's just my very unreliable memory.

You've probably heard the one about 'get a decent newsreader' ) The OP
is using OE, which isn't noted for its perfection.

True. I am using an ancient form of netscape and even that is better.

OL? Opera? Anyway, I think i found my answer by looking for newsgroups
specifically for the client I use, which is netscape. That way I was
more likely to get someone who had a lot of experience.

Try using something like XNews instead.
It's a lot more adapted to nntp than netscape, outlook or other Mail
clients ever will be.

Can't do it. It takes me about a year to get used to new stuff and
that includes newer versions of netscape. :O(

Pretty funny.
I work with techie stuff and I learned xnews in 2 seconds.
On the other hand, I still, after 10 years in the business cannot get used
to how backwards Outlook is. Nor Netscape since AOL bought them out.

I was an OE user for a while and it bit the big one, very badly, some
files got screwed up and barring a complete windows reinstall nothing
would bring it back. I installed a couple of browsers etc to try and
couldn't get my head round any of them until I used this netscape. By
the time a kind person got on top of the problem and showed me how to
extract relevant files etc for OE fix I was hooked on netscape. i
can't even use new versions of the prog, and believe me I've tried.
