On your left there should be a "Folders" pane. The news server you connected
with should be listed there, and as a sub category to it should be this
newsgroup. Right click on the news server and select "Newsgroups". You can
then enter a search for "aquaria" and subscribe to the groups you want.
If you don't have the "Folders" pane on the left, you can put it there by
clicking "View" and then "Layout" on the OE toolbar, then put a check in the
box that says "Folder List".
I'm not sure how it works with every ISP. Mine has newsgroup access, and I
had to configure the newsgroup account in OE with the news server, username,
and password provided by my ISP. If all else fails, call your ISP and ask if
they have newsgroup access, and if so, how to configure OE so you can access
it.
Good luck,
Gary

The number depends of your ISP, When it's finished loading [ takes a few
minutes] above the list there is a search box, type in Aquaria. A list of
groups will appear below, click on the ones you want, then click
Keep//retain. When they have loaded, click on the newsgroup icon in the
folders collum, and this time click the Synchronize account box again, all
your news groups will list, click in
new messages only box, Then right click the newsgroup in the folders
section and click, "catch Up" failure to do this will load ALL the posts

It's quite easy, even the Dog can do it..
