So I deinstalled it, and installed communicator 4.0 which still shows me no way to delete old headers, but seems to not take as long to list the old headers before allowing me to begin viewing new newsgroup messages. So for now I guess things are good. However, this version of communicator does not allow me to join any newsgroups. I am subscribed to the ones from before, but I can not join any new ones. Yes, I go through the motions to join a group by clicking on subscribe which lists all the groups in that little window, but when I try to join by highlighing the group that I want to join, and clicking on join, and click ok and go back to the list it simply is not listed. I have been looking at this problem for several hours and have tried several times, so I am quit sure that the join a group function does not work. Has anyone run into this problem, and knows how to fix it. Can I go to a file that lists the subscribed to groups and just put the groups that I want to join in the file? Also, one more problem that seems to happen a lot is when I click on some link, it causes netscape to die. Just goes away. Almost 1/4 of the time this happens. Anyone else have this problem. Is it a known thing in the freebsd world that the netscape ports suck, and in fact I should be using some other browser(does another browser even exist for freebsd)? Thanks for your help.
