I use to be able to see postings that were several weeks old or older but now I can't even see a 3 day old posting. I don't remember changing any settings, has there been a newsgroup setting change? Any suggestion to help me resolve this.

It's your server that controls the retention, not the newsgroup.
Retention times are a function of your newsreader and your usenet provider (eternal september, it appears). If you blow away your newsreader caches and you still see only the last day or two, then the problem is at eternal september and you should contact them.
Happens occasional here too. Hang in there.

I went to Bakers Square, had a sandwich and a yummy piece of pie, came home and it seems that things are working again. Thanks for the responses
In Seamonkey under Edit/Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings/news.giganews.com/synchronization & Storage there is a line "Delete messages more than____ days old. I have this checked and 30 days in the blank. Sometimes gremlins make changes in settings like this.
It was the desert that did it!!
Getting things working again _is_ "simple as pie".
