Subscribed Groups

evilcalvin

I have several subscribed groups that are only visible in Preferences>Newsreader>Subscriptions where the groups with old articles are listed. These groups do not show on the left in the main page in Newsreader. How do I unsubscribe to these groups or reset to get back the old articles? Or how do I see them in the main Newsreader area?

Have you recently removed or disabled a news server from the configuration by any chance?
Could you check in the settings to see whether a news server is disabled?
If that’s not the case, did you perhaps delete one?

It’s possible that the newsgroups missing from the right-hand “subscriptions” panel come from a disabled or removed news server.

Let me know.

Andre,
I have not recently removed or disabled a news server from the configuration.
Both news servers are enabled with check marks in the “servers” preferences.

I have deleted a bunch of unused groups and maybe accidentally folders from the “Newsreader” tab.
Before my first message, I deleted everything from the “Newsreader” tab thinking that would solve the issue.

This normally shouldn’t happen, but I suspect the database file may be corrupted.

To clean up the entire newsreader section, please follow these steps:

1) Close Usenapp.
2) Open Finder.
3) In Finder, press Shift + Command + G (or use the menu: Go → Go to Folder).
4) In the text field, enter the following path, including the tilde (~) and click Go:
~/Library/Application Support/Usenapp/articles
5) Make sure you are in the correct folder, then do the following:
6) Delete the file subscriptions.db and remove all folders except the folders named “1” and “2”.
7) Restart Usenapp.

That should resolve the issue.
