    What do I do to reactivate pan?

    What version of Pan?
    I am using 0.154
    Searching for fortran reveals 17 groups in the Other Groups list.

    I presume you are typing fortran without the quotes.
    Are any other newsgroups available?
    e.g. start typing alt. in the search box top left and those groups
    should appear in the Other Groups list.

    Eternal-September can be temperamental at times and be off-line.
    Have you tried another news server?

    that's weird. i thought server name was news.eternal-september.org

    try that out. if you get to your groups, it really is an ES.

    Did you use auth and enabled "always authenticate"?
    Are the eternal-september groups visible?

    I just installed it again, and it's 0.149. I thought I would
    get the latest version.
    And no matter what I type in, I get no response as I used to.
    No, I don't use quotes.
    I have been on eternal-september for years and never had
    problems with it. When pan stopped working, about a year or two
    ago, I used Thunderbird but I don't like it much, and now it
    is asking me to donate. I can't seem to get rid of the "Donate"
    page.

    I am using MX Linux and Pan 0.154 is in the repository.
    For Kubuntu try this site if you want the latest version of Pan. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pan/0.154-1

    OK, I did leave out the news. bit. After putting that
    in, same behaviour.
    Where do I find auth? And no, I don't see any ngs.

    Try reader80.eternal-september.org (port 80).

    Delete the pan2 directory/folder in your home directory. Then restart PAN
    to create a new user and cache. Usually your home directory is /home/YOURUSERNAME on your disk drive.

    The tilde path (~) is usually expanded to your home too.

    Glad to hear it.

    I remember it was possible to forever ignore a
    particular author. I right clicked the person I want
    to avoid now, but it seems that I am now only able
    to ignore the thread, not the author. How do I do
    it now -or is it not possible any longer?
