"Options/Load Backup configuration on Restart" then restart.

if you're using a fairly modern version of Newsbin. If not, you're SOL and will have to reconfigure. I recommend backing up the configuration file.

There are only really two rules here:

1 - Don't talk about what you download.

2 - Don't flame other people.

Other than that, you can sort of say what you want. So, it's not inappropriate.

The configuration file is just a small text file that ends in .NBI. If you just back it up somewhere, you can always restore from it.
