Pan newsreader again

Try asking in this active Pan newsgroup:

gmane.comp.gnome.apps.pan.user

For gmane, ther is a registration procedure)

Can't see it on my news server

WTF is *that*? It ain't a newsgroup ...

huge@amun:~/Prog/News$ grep gmane NIN_active.txt huge@amun:~/Prog/News$

GMANE run mailing list usenet gateways, also mail archives

From their FAQ;

------- Can you carry the foo.bar.zot newsgroup on Gmane? No. Gmane only carries mailing lists, not Usenet newsgroups.

-------

Thats strange, my newsreader there is!

It may be a Mailing-List that is presented in newsgroup form.

It's up to you if you want to try. I can almost guarantee you will find a solution there to your problem...

Which news server are you using?

Not visible on news.individual.net

nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.pan.user

news.gmane.org

O.K. - finally got all signed up for that.

Very small group of enthusiasts which gives a picture of where Pan is at the moment. Nice that there is still an active developer involved.

Finally (with much help) worked out how to do this.

(1) Click on Date column until oldest thread is shown at top of header pane.

(2) Click on Score column - highest score then at bottom of header pane.

(3) Click on Score column again and highest score is at the top of the header pane, and everything is sorted in 'latest thread first' order.

You have to get the Date column into the correct sort key order before selecting the Score column as your sort key.

Pan remembers the last column you sorted on and takes the sort order as your secondary sort key.

I still don't know why you have to do it in what seems to me to be an arse about face way of doing things but at least I have a solution.

Cheers
