Can I go back to build 6.50

[eclapwannabe]

I don't like this version. It is fighting me the whole time

Just a few minutes ago It changed my download path to something else.

Maybe I got a bad down load.
in the old program when I would go to group properties I could tell newsbin were to send my download
files. Now I have to go to Settings to change were the file goes.

It is driving me insane.

The release is still on the site. You can download it. Old downloads are available there too.

You never answered my question about how you load the groups. The "per group" path applies if you load the group. If you load a topic with multiple groups the path set in the topic is what's used.

I just downgraded to 6.56 also. I *hate* the new version changes to the interface: highlighting/mouse changes, color scheme, and the performance is HORRIBLE. It was taking forever to load groups and sort posts if other groups were updating.

I just downgraded and the performance issues disappeared.

Then upgraded the 6.6RC again and issues returned.

Now downgraded to 6.56 and back to "normal", expected performance.

I am sure it's some quirk of my particular installation/configuration, but I am not going to upgrade to 6.6x

Not worth the hassle. I wish you had left the interface alone. As for the performance, I don't know what the issue was.

Just my $0.02, I know you guys have worked hard on 6.6 and the criticism might bite--not my intention.

If I had to guess, I'd guess the DB's are being updated in the background. If you decide to try again, I'd click the update button and let it update all the groups then just leave it be till is completes.

I'm not getting the highlight and colors comments. Selection works just like 6.56. The one change to color is that "old" is now either the standard Windows background color or a slightly gray color. You can disable the gray background with an NBI file change. Maybe you're not liking the new server tab. You know you can change the server colors too.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes, groups were still updating but the groups were also slower on 6.6x even after the groups update had completed.

What line do I need to change to revert to the older color scheme?

Are you sure you don't just need to set a different theme?

"View/Application Look".

In the NBI

[COLORS]
UseBackgroundColor = 0

Will disable Newsbin setting a background color and it'll then use the standard windows background color. You really haven't explained what you don't like so I don't really know if this'll address it.

As far as I know there was no change to the color scheme so, I'm suspecting you need to change the application look.
