Troubleshooting

Gnus works so well straight out of the box - I can't imagine any problems, really.

Ahem.

1. Make sure your computer is switched on.
2. Make sure that you really load the current Gnus version. If you have been running GNUS, you need to exit Emacs and start it up again before Gnus will work.
3. Try doing an M-x gnus-version. If you get something that looks like `Gnus v5.46; nntp 4.0' you have the right files loaded. If, on the other hand, you get something like `NNTP 3.x' or `nntp flee', you have some old `.el' files lying around. Delete these.
4. Read the help group (M h in the group buffer) for a FAQ and a how-to.

If all else fails, report the problem as a bug,

If you find a bug in Gnus, you can report it with the M-x gnus-bug command. M-x set-variable RET debug-on-error RET t RET, and send me the backtrace. I will fix bugs, but I can only fix them if you send me a precise description as to how to reproduce the bug.
