Since upgrading to Thunderbird 102, I can no longer see nor download any new posts to NNTP newsgroups. When I try to get messages, there is a "flash" giving some number of messages, but they never download. It also seems that any posts I try to make aren't made.

Well, it appears that TB 102.3.1 solved the problem, though the release notes didn't mention that. I waited a few weeks to see if it came back, but it hasn't, and updates (I am now on 102.4) have not regressed. So I will mark this problem as solved. Thanks to all who responded.

I contacted NewsXS, my usenet provider. They came up with a solution.

Settings > Config Editor (bottom of page) > in the search window, type: jsmodule > Double click on mailnews.nntp.jsmodule and change it to: false > restart TB.

Authentication works again :)

NewsXS notes that they strictly adhere to NNTP standards / protocol.
