How to reset groups in Newsbin Pro

Postby eclapwannabe » Thu Dec 18, 2014 3:23 pm

I had a scare this morning. Winrar had a hiccup processing a file and system manager would not stop the process. Long story short I had to abort system logging off and it mucked up my windows start up programs. Windows thank the heavens restored the start up programs through system restore but in the mean time all my newsgroups as well as settings for my groups are gone. I checked with the program and
and it is still NBP 6.54 build 3326.

The reason I had to manually extract the Winrar Volume is Password Manager has been iffy lately. I have started keeping several passwords in the password manager because it is a safe place to store passwords. Better than writing them done or making another text file. I know the password is correct because when I input the correct password it extracts the file(manually) Is Password manager getting confused by the other passwords? My thinking is that it works through all the passwords until it finds the right one. Correct?

Disregard how to rebuild file I found that through v600 advanced newsbin,

I still would like some clarification on password manager. It may have healed itself when everything
switch back to zero. I dunno.

PM me examples with passwords and I'll check it out. It tries to find the password from the first chunk of the first file so, its reliability depends on how the files are posted.

I think I have found the problem. I have one particular poster whom does things differently. I will just have to do things manually with them.

I am not having a problem with any other poster.

Well, I could probably solve it if you tell me what I need to know. Typically it's either a file I don't know in the set or a missing file signature in Newsbin.
