Having a strange issue with Pan (0.14.2.91). On a new account I have
with Astraweb, all new posts (in any group) are not marked as "read" as
I move through them with the "N" key. I can read an entire group's new
posts, and not a single one of them will get marked as read. I can,
however, mark them as read individually (M key), or mark the whole
group read (with Ctrl-Shift-M). There is no setting in Pan for this,
and it has always worked (and still does work) on other servers I use.
It is specific to posts on the Astraweb server.
Another oddity: If I make a post from Astraweb, and then view it with
another server (Cox), I see the same behavior as noted above. The post
does not get marked as read after I read it. The *really* strange
thing is that replies to that post (by other people), as viewed by me
on the Cox server, *also* no longer get marked after reading. Again, I
can mark any/all of them manually.
Any ideas what is causing this weirdness? I have removed the server
and all posts/indexes from the .pan folder, re-subscribed, and the
behavior remains the same. Quite baffling... Any help appreciated.
An update to my own post... I have isolated this strange behavior to
something being wrong with Old Pan. I used the situation to motivate me
to upgrade to the new version of slrn (using it now), and have also been
trying out the latest Pan (0.133). I went as far as removing the entire
.pan directory, and completely setting up Old Pan again, and the
weirdness was still there. With slrn and New Pan, things behave
normally. I really have no idea what could possibly cause that, and am
probably going to move to New Pan as a result (with the occasional use
of slrn). I do find New Pan somewhat lacking, mostly it's lack of
"folders" to save posts to, and see sent posts. Also the scoring is
different, although I have discovered that it uses ~/News/Score as it's
scorefile, and that location is not changeable. Not a huge problem, as
it seems to use this file (shared with slrn) just fine. I also don't
like the graphical display of threads as well as Old Pan, but it seems
to be usable and I'll probably get used to it soon enough.
I feel a little sad to move away from Old Pan. RIP, friend.
Check that you are 'selected' to the correct server/group, I can force
"all new posts are not marked as "read" as I move through them with the
"N" key."
By selecting server 'A' reading the group, then select server 'B' (via
server drop down) but still reading the same group via 'N' or whatever,
when you change the server make sure you select a new (or same) group in
the group pane.
If this is not the case ...I am at a loss, with the only help being a full
re-install, but save the .pan folder and overlay to get back to same msg
state.
