complete newbie needs help

Post by ballast949 »

I have signed up with newshosting.com as a content provider and I have setup SAB as per the instructions as my news reader. When I 'test connection' on the server setup page it says 'successful', so presumably i have a good, valid connection. The question is this...  there appears to be nowhere to select newsgroups. I am in the 'HOME' screen. I just get a very sparse screen with a black bar that says 'name' 'progress' 'timeleft' 'Age' and 'size' . it shows status of Idle.  And it shows all the setup functions to the left. I have the feeling that I am in the wrong screen, but don't have a clue how to access the actual newsgroups.  I am running version 0.5.4 under Windows 7.  I feel like I must be missing something dumb. Please help!
