I've noticed the same behavior after my ISP changed their news server. I've found only two solutions to date - I also posted to this group, but didn't get any response. solution 1. If I subscribe to my ISP news servers groups as if they were foreign groups, everything works fine. When I start gnus or hit g, gnus checks for new articles and displays the number in the groups listing buffer. Likewise, if I define a secondary select method, I can subscribe to the groups and they show up as foreign groups and all works fine. solution 2. If I use l to list all groups and then use M-g when on a native group, it will tell me how many available messages are there. I have varified my group levels are all OK (everything is pretty much at defaults). This problem didn't occur until after my ISP switched to a new news server and now takes a full feed from somewhere like supernova or supergroups or something similar in the states. After they changed news servers, I totally reconfigured things and made sure I had removed old article number caches etc, just in case new article numbers caused problems etc. I also found that when setting up the system again, the new group listings and subscription methods outlined in the manual didn't work as advertised. I wonder if TPG has changed their news server or done something similar?
