Hello, Mike

This is what works for me;

Storage;

Left click on the icon next to the "T" at the bottom.

Choose "store headers and articles"

This keeps everything. Xnews can be configured to store nothing, as a
strictly "on-line" reader, which makes almost no demands on your
HDD storage. The option I use makes demands on your hard disc, so you set
an expiration date as Doc suggested, or occasionally purge the storage
yourself, but in these days of gigabyte drives it's not so essential.

When you leave a group, if you've skipped posts (don't we all?) press

shiftF8 - this will mark all posts as read.

Then press F8 to catchup (TBH I don't quite know what that means, but it
works for me.

Then in Special>Setup>Misc check

"0pen next group after catchup",

and after you leave a group via shftF8 and F8, the next group will open for
yo immediately.

I find this a very fast and easy way to work.

HTH
