Roll Back Idea

After this last Yahoo game, I think it would be nice to have PGO save the last several refresh message numbers and be able to "RollBack" the refreshes so we can redownload the messages.

ex:  march 15 05  DIY-CNC      10836
                            geckodrive    4726
                            sheetcam      2454

      march 18 05   DIY-CNC      11258
                             geckodrive    4825
                             sheetcam      2475

      march 20 05    DIY-CNC      11425
                              geckodrive    4901
                              sheetcam      2513
ETC;

Then next time yahoo plays these games and we download empty message bodys, when the patch comes out we can just use a "ROLLBACK" to march 18 05  and redownload the messages from that day to last message. should not have to save but  the last 5 or so downloads to do this.
I just got through going through all my groups and finding the first message without a message body and reseting the settings to that message # and redownloading all the messages.

BTW; Wonderfull Program,  I love it

You can reset the start point for your download in Group Settings.
Just double click on the affected group name in the groups list &
click on the Download Settings tab. Then set the "Start download from the message #" field to the last successful message with a message body.

Cheers,

Wilson.

Yes, Basicly the way I did this,

Took almost 2 hours for me to find the last succesful message and change the message #'s fields for all my groups for the downloads, I can't keep up with all the reading and am behind on some groups as far as 2000 posts so took a while to locate the last good downloaded message so i could change the download message #,      Is it just me that does not have enough time in the day?  HaHaHa
So much to do -- so little time

Thanks,    Jimmy

Its not just you, there genuinely isn't enough time!

Cheers,

Wilson.
