157.0. "Gone fishing ?" by JACOB::GREENWOOD (Tim Greenwood) Tue Jul 22 1986 02:55

    This conference was once one of the fastest growing around - now
    no new entries for ages. Has every one gone away ?

	...and what am I?  Fish bait?  I've been babbling pretty steady
    now for the past week!  Are you sure you're not SET SEEN too far in
    advance?  }:^)  }:^)  }:^)

	I will admit it's been pretty quiet since the...um...new order
    came down from above concerning...you know...usage of (or was it
    abuse of?) company resources for non-work-related activities...
    what?  Oh, hold on, someone is tapping me on the shoulder...No! not
    me!  I didn't know...I was only kidding...I...I...YYYEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
157.2Probably known bugPOST::GETTYSBob Gettys N1BRMTue Jul 22 1986 11:5511
                I think you will find that a known bug has bitten you. 
        If you see a conference (especially one as active as this one!) 
        that hasn't had an entry for a while, try doing a SET 
        SEEN/BEFORE=somereasonabledate . Usually that will fix the 
        problem (somehow your seen map becomes corrupt, and the SET SEEN 
        restores it to sanity). If it persists, and the best way to tell 
        is that the date of last entry will keep moving, but the unseen 
        count stays at zero, then you need to delete the entry in your 
        notebook and re-enter it. 
                
                        /s/     Bob

157.5unseen count strikes againJACOB::GREENWOODTim GreenwoodWed Jul 23 1986 18:095
    Yes- I was caught by the unseen count bug, have now read note 139.
    I will now have the opposite problem wit hundreds of notes to catch
    up on.
