We're all still here, boss.
Is Google doing something screwy?

Yes, Google does seem to be doing something weird. Each page of topics
is MUCH shorter now. Some topic pages have only 4 or 5 topics! What
used to be on two or three pages now takes 10 or more pages. It makes
searching for discussions much more time-consuming.

Somebody fix this, please! :-(

Is that the "new" vs. "traditional" interface?
Isn't the "traditional" interface optionally available?

Try Outlook Express or any other newsreader. Surfing USENET on the web is
lame.

Are you serious??

Personally... I like it. Your ISP should have a news server working in
conjunction with your mail server; just call them for instructions...

Go to Tools | Account | News and enter a news server (possibly that of your
ISP). Posts read like emails, and threads are in heirarchical folder form.

IF your ISP has a news server available, you set up an account
(Tools | Accounts | Add... etc.)

The half dozen leading alternatives I tried were all quite clunky
and ill-featured compared to Outlook Express. Dunno how
people put up with them.

At the studio, where there's a fast connection, I've been using MT
Newswatcher on OS X for ages and it's great. On dial up at home,
though, checking the groups via Google is actually quicker and easier
because with a newsreader it takes too long to update the thousands of
posts. Google just goes right to the latest, and then you can go back.
But, yeah, their front end went wack a few days ago. but accessing
through everything else looks same as always.
