When I got up this morning, I looked at rec.arts.tv as usual to see if there were any interesting posts but whenever I clicked on a post, Thunderbird claimed that it was expired, even though I was looking at something that had been posted within the past 24 hours. I've had that problem before and always resolved it by unsubscribing and then resubscribing. But today, that didn't work: after I resubscribed, Thunderbird insisted that there were no messages in rec.arts.tv!

I tried subscribing to another newsgroup and chose one based on Thunderbird so that I could conceivably get some help with my issue but it was empty too. Then I deleted the Thunderbird newsgroup and tried to unsubscribe/resubscribe to rec.arts.tv but then I wasn't even getting a list of newsgroups!!!

I went to the official Mozilla forum for Thunderbird and described my problem there. The only response I got suggested that Eternal Septemeber itself might be having problems.

Is anyone else having trouble with Eternal September today?

By the way, let me apologize if the formatting on this post is as bad as I think it might be. I found out there was a web-based Usenet service called Newsgrouper so that's what I'm using as a stopgap to post this. But it just leaves everything on one line and keeps scrolling ever further right and I don't know how to stop that behaviour.

No problems here and it looks like Adam isn't having issues either.

 I also am not having problems with ES.
 It sounds to me like a Thunderbird issue - on my end, my Thunderbird will "expire" old articles (3+ months?). So it sounds like rhino's Thunderbird is glitching.
