[partly OT] anybody else having issues with the NNTP-Bridge in this forum?

Question
-
The most recent message I get via the NNTP Brisge is from the 10th of January, while if I check the web version I see many posts with a more recent date. This morning I couldn't download the new messages and I was getting the error "503 internal server error, object not set to an instance of an object" (or alike) and new posts headers never got downloaded. Other fora's messages get downloaded correctly.
I unsubscribed the group and re-subscribed it but this didn't change things. I also restarted the PC but it didn't solve enything.
Anybody else is experiencing the same behavior with this forum?

Yes, I believe we have been seeing similar symptoms. I believe the replies are "missing" until someone (probably not on the bridge) submits a reply. Then that kicks something so the missing replies show up. Here is another recent case:
From your experience it seems it doesn't matter how much time intervenes. It can be days. The missing replies never show up until someone else replies.

BTW just as I posted this message, I clicked F5 and a post from 3 minutes before appeared. It looks liek the bridge lost the posts from 10th January to today 5 minutes ago...

Is there any chance on getting this fixed properly?
Earlier today I noticed a new question for one I responded to earlier. The original poster noted:
> My previous question "Programmtically creating a CString" shows one reply but ther are none?
I could see my reply in my newsreader and clearly the person asking the question had seen a notification that there was a reply in the forum interface, but neither of us could see my reply via the forum interface.
This delay is a pain for the person waiting for their answer, as well as an annoyance for those of us answering.

I suggest to email to fissues at microsoft dot com. There is another recent thread on this same topic, but I do not see any activity in this forum from the people responsible for forum's software and several bugs are unanswered. All these problems have been here for months and still no resolution!
