Jonas created a post that did not follow in sequence or fall in the same position on this - and probably many other - screens.

Savageduck
Actually it did.

Tony Cooper
On your screen, but not on mine. There is no setting in Agent that I can figure out to allow it to fall in sequence with the other nonsense that Jonas has written.

Savageduck
Then I guess Agent isn't quite as versatile a Usenet Newsreader as Forte presents it to be.

Could be. I guess it depends on what you want to see on your screen. "Broken", though? I don't think so.

I really had no problem with it being a new thread. I might consider the nonsense in the post to be problem, but I've long-past stopped considering the peckings of that chicken-brain to be anything but a minor annoyance. One, though, that provides some laughs.

I sort by "Thread" and read one and click to the next in the thread. The new thread comes up down the list.

Tony Cooper
Jonas has made a claim (unsubstantiated) that Forte Agent is a "broken" newsreader and does not follow "standards". (I'm paraphrasing because I can't be bothered to look up his actual words)

Savageduck
I can't speak for Forte Agent as I do not, and have never used it. I only know it by reputation as being a good usenet client.

Tony Cooper
In participating in newsgroups for many years, and in many newsgroups, I've never seen anyone suggest this before. Most of the groups I follow - or have followed - have been groups with participants from all over the globe. Many different news providers and newsreaders are or have been used. Most people regard both news.individual.net and Forte Agent (the combo that I use) as both reliable and at least equal to or better than any other news reader or newsreader.

I don't imagine that Jonas will be able to substantiate his claim, but we may see an "onslaught" of empty verbiage - maybe including examples of ordering pizza or picking up medicines - purporting to do so.
