Read articles become unread at logout

[Ken Foskey]

Binary package hint: pan

I have a newsgroup that I constantly monitor. If I click on another group and back again everything is fine. If I read all the articles in the group and then logoff (not close the app, logoff by the running man) the next time I start the articles that I read are all unread again. Makes it difficult to track what I have seen and not seen.

So I have read 85 articles, read them. I then minimised Pan and upgraded system. I clicked log out and logged back in. I now have 85 articles unread. Workaround is to move off the group and back again so that it is flushed to disk.
