Well since the changes, I've had to delete ALL the article numbers
from news.watermark, and reload all the news groups.

I suppose I could have just used teh catch up!!

I don't know why, but twice in the last year I've had to do this.
Maybe when a news server has an upgrade or something
it changes the numbers. Dammed silly if you ask me!!

The first time I had to change all the numebers from
100005677 to 000005677

Don't know why.

News now seems as before, if not a little slower!

Cheers
Chris
