He seems unable to get his article list to update.
The OP does not need to post test messages to this newsgroup.
If the OP is not seeing new posts, the OP can check this group on
Narkive [1] or NovaBBS [2].
If they show no new posts, that is the reason.
If they show new posts which the OP is not receiving, the OP should
check the OP's filters (not post test posts). I see the OP is using
Forté Agent.
* The first check is to (temporarily) disable Agent's filtering for
the group and sample headers. If new posts show up, it is a
problem with the OP's filters.
* If the OP is using this subject filter from a post in the Agent
newsgroup
{/?/?/?/?}
that filter will catch _all_ posts, not only posts with question
marks. The lesson is to test one's filters on the group using
Agent's Find Global (Ctrl+G) to make sure the filter does not
catch other posts one do not want caught.
