support newsgroup
The other week I posted the message below to the support newsgroup on how I couldn't get a newsfeed working with messages being moved to new groups.  I now see that the support newsgroup with all of its history is gone.
Was it something I said :-(
Even though I couldn't do the newsfeed this was still a useful resource to have on-line.

I like to keep archives on my PC of various news feeds from other servers including the mps news groups.
With the recent changes this has introduced some problems
Messages in the old mps.mpnews have been moved into new group names and here is an example of the error I get when I try to do the news feed now

"Time","Message","Message ID"
"6:46:29 PM","Downloaded article was rejected - <00000003$02B40000$000013DC@P15144968> Article rejected - do not try again None of the newsgroups mps.mpnews exist","<00000003$02B40000$000013DC@P15144968>"

Are there any suggestions on how I can get the feed working again?

Thanks

Hi Gilgamesh,

the support NG is only renamed. Just reset your newsreader and reread the newsgroup list and than you can join the new named newsgroups. If you before stored all postings on your local disk you have to reload all postings.

Re: support newsgroup
Thanks for responding but that isn't the problem.
I had previously done a reset of the newsgroups in my news reader & MPNews and there is no extra group to replace the mps.mpnews.support newsgroup that messagepixels had set up, and the 1700 odd posts that were there haven't been redistributed to the other groups.

Re: support newsgroup
Klemens,

I believe that Gilgamesh is correct that the old support newsgroup is no longer available on the server.  It's either deleted, not enabled, or has restricted rights.  Since the support newsgroup is not even visible on the web based message groups (http://news.messagepixels.com/Forum.aspx), it does not appear to be a caching issue in our newreader software.
