News server?

Can anyone recommend a good non-binary news server? BT is missing so many posts these days that reading this group is a bit like reading abook with half the pages missing.

I was with news.cis.cfn.de (or whatever it was called) and very happy with their excellent service for ages until my login suddenly failed permanently. I understand that this server is now called news.individual.net. I've tried to register with them three times in then last couple of months, but they never reply.

Any suggestions? Preferably free - I'm not interested in those $$$-per-month, all-you-can-eat, no-one will ever know where you've been services. At least, not for my Land Rover interests :-)

I am a silly boy, but they are the best.

Try register in your wifes name etc as I had the same.

Your old news.cis.cfn.de login should work with news.individual.net, all I had to do to change over was to alter the name of the server. Are you sure that the e-mail address you used to register with news.cis.cfn.de is still valid?

I used to use *racks memory* news.cis.de but I shift so much binary material I don't bother anymore.

Quite agree, we all had to only change the name of the server some while ago to stay able to use their services so provided you still know all the original login details you should still be Ok.

Probably teaching my grandmother to suck eggs but Using IE6 go to Tools then Accounts, news tag, then highlight cis.de then properties and simply change the server to News.Individual.net

I had forgotten my login credentials, after years of using it and suddenly having to install a new news reader; just emailed them and got a reply within one or two days.

I tried them again giving the same name as before but a different (but genuine) email address and this time got an auto response - that's more than I've had before. Perhaps their system won't allow multiple applications from the same address. Now waiting for the human being part of the equation to send me the login details. Good thinking, Nige.

Result! Thanks Nige. All posts present and correct, and threaded correctly. Unlike BT, where half were missing and others were allocated to threads seemingly at random.

Solution was to re-register with different email address. Happy bunny, Cheers.
