NNTP Bridge and the Technet.en-US.winserverpowershell forum

Question
-
Since the NNTP Bridge came back up the Technet.en-US.winserverpowershell forum is missing from the available newsgroup lists. There are several non-English PowerShell forums in the list, but the English language one is missing.
Will it be restored?
Thx!

Hi Larry!

Sometimes you need to "refresh" the newgroups list more than once.... This is a bug of the web-service not returning all newsgroups reliably...
Also you can manually specify ths newsgroup-name if your client supports this..

Aha. Is TB case sensitive for "newsgroup" names? <eg>---
