First, you have to understand how MT-NewsWatcher works with the server when opening newsgroups. The subject window does not show a ‘live’ view of a newsgroup; it displays a snapshot of the articles on the server when the group was opened. So when you post a new article, it won’t show up in the subject window until you reopen the group. Also, before close the subject window and you reopen the group, you’ll need to do a Check for new articles on that group (to check just the selected group(s), hold down the option key when choosing this menu command). When you do this, you should see the number of unread articles for that group increase. If not, wait a few minutes and try again. Once it goes up, open the group, and your new article should be there. On some servers, it may take several minutes for your post to show up.
