Since updating to 6.10 RC 2 I notice the display age is limited. I changed a couple of groups to use Per Group Display Age of 120 days. Then I downloaded all headers. Then right click on group and Show All Posts. I'm not getting anything older than 4 days. Some of the massive groups like HDTV I'm getting maybe 11 days. Seems weird because stuff I saw in posts in previous version I can't get to display even when I download all headers for the group.. like 6 million headers and still I can only see 4 days worth.

edit: I tried backing off to RC 1. Even on HDTV groups I'm only seeing 4 days when using Show All Posts. Weird.

I'm seeing nothing like that. How many headers downloaded? What's the storage age set to? "Download all Headers" should be pulling 100's of millions of headers in some of those large groups.

I have Storage Age to 120. I did look on one of the groups through a web access after I posted and it would not show me any entries. Maybe somehow the group itself got dumped on my server. I'll keep an eye on it and post back if it looks like an issue.

Edit: also since my first post I installed a couple of older betas and tried them. They all acted the same. Then I put RC2 back on. Looks unlikely to be an issue with Newsbin.

Wonder if it's a "spell alike" group. That has a slightly different spelling than the real group.

Seems to be back to normal now. Maybe it just got dumped on the server and they replenished from backup. In any case it's definitely not NB. Sorry for the false alarm.
