Vista - Why in Microsoft Communities don't show things like other newsgroups?

03-04-2008

Greetings,

Why, in Windows Mail newsgroup, 'Microsoft Communities', (at the bottom of the screen/window) does not show the total number of
message and the number of unread messages plus "Working Online"?

It does show,'Downloading/Refreshing Metedata...' but then when it finishes and refreshes, most (not all) groups, all messages are
gone.

Any other newsgroup show this.

I do not know what causes the problem, but it is widely reported.

I find that if I wait until the screen flashes a number of times, (coincides
with the number of news accounts that I have setup?), I do a Sync All then
go to the groups and the missing data is in the task bar.

Regarding missing messages?
Ensure that you do not have Hide Read messages enabled in the news server,
view>current view.
