I've had no problems with Google Groups until about 2 days ago.

Agreed.

Browsing a website for interesting posts once a day or so is much
better

Yep.

I abandoned the die-hards so called ''proper'' newsgroup methods when
google groups came into being.

repetitive questions which seems to happen in EVERY Yahoo group.

Yes that is a difficulty. Yahoo really is not laid out for discussion
trees and branches.



There are always delays from time to time, but recently there have
been problems which seem to be something to do with indexing. For
example, the most recent messages show in the author tree, but you
can't get to the text.

When there are not many messages in a thread yet, you just get "all
messages in the thread have been deleted", but I think that's just a
special case of not displaying the most recent messages when they are
all recent.

So I think it's some kind of index or array that's going out of synch
and failing to display recent stuff.
