I'm looking at a newsgroup post called "Light Diffusion"...

http://news.povray.org/povray.general/thread/%3Cweb.499f61f21bee921065ab59cc0%40news.povray.org%3E/?mtop=13

which states that 14 messages are there; but I can access only 10 of the 14. The
"Next 4 messages" link which should be there is missing. (I usually see only 10
messages per page on my system.)  Is it just me, or does anyone else see this?
Are there in fact only 10 messages there, and has POV generated the wrong
number in the title page?

I'm running Windows XP SP3, using Firefox.

Wrong choice of words; POV-Ray has nothing to do with this, of course. I meant
the software that the newsgroups use.

I see 14 through my newsgroup server.

When I follow the link you provided the first 10 display . At the top and 
bottom theres a link to the 'Latest 10' which then shows posts 5 to 14, but 
there's also a link way across to the right to the Next 4.

I think this is down to a very long and unbroken line of text in the post 
from CShake. Because it doesn't contain spaces it doesn't break the line, 
forcing you to scroll right to reach the 'Next 4' link.

Regards,
Chris B.

Looks like someone posted a message with a very long link that really "blows up"
the web page horizontally.

Thanks, everyone. The link IS there. I never thought to scroll sideways! Duh.
This same behavior has happened to me before; but it won't trick me again!! :-)
