(1) It's not a board, it's a newsgroup. (2) Get a proper ISP (3) Use a sig separator (4) What software are you using?

Its a Usenet group, not a board and AOL appear to be having problems, not surprising !!. Try using a different news provider like news.individual.net and maybe do some reading on how Usenet works.

AOL's newsgroup feed isn't working properly at the moment. It's been down for about 6 days now. It happens every now and then but is usually fixed within a day. I guess the delay is because it's happened over the holidays. You can inform them at keyword 'Tell Us'. If enough people do so maybe they'll fix it quicker.

Think you should rephrase the question to:
"How can I get this board to group threads when viewing in bl**dy AOL?"
(and sorry, I don't know; I normally only say "AOL" in the same sentence as words like "bargepole". QED!

You forgot one;
(5) Get Google to stop breaking the References: header which newsreaders use to correctly display threads.

Give it and a large sum of money to Lotus.
At least, that's what Top Gear did.

I don't think we can blame Google for this one, only Dave Baker (sorry to name and shame) has used Deja to reply to this thread and even then the (singular) reference looks intact to me.

Attach a Space Hhuttle booster to it, light blue touch paper and retire. Look on eBay for engine mounting brackets.

For some reason Google seems to leave one reference in, but it screws it up if there are several.

Mm. Maybe the regulars here should all try the same tack by emailing snipped-for-privacy@google.com, to try and get them to fix their their crappy message headers and threading?!

Why bother? Just filter out anything that originates from Google.

Or killfile people who post through Google Groups so it doesn't mess up the threading :-)

I though so, but in this case the google message was a direct reply to the head of the thread so that was all it should have had anyway ...

(a) some useful stuff does emanates from google posters and I'd rather not lose it; and
(b) (more significantly!) filtering will need to be very clever to trap any replies made by 'normal' posters to messages from google posters; so these will appear as 'orphan' threads anyway.
