How to request your provider add missing groups

[piercerseth]

Not all providers carry the same groups in their feeds. I've watched several users get confused this week when a certain forum switched up where they were posting articles to. This is easily remedied. Just ask your provider to add the particular group(s). Here's a few to start:

Astraweb (requres login to Members panel)
Blocknews
Giganews
Newsdemon
Supernews

I've already submitted the missing abtza and abtzb to Astra for inclusion but not showing yet, but they can take up to 48hrs unless SSL-N are not allowing it

Dont hold your breath on astraweb adding new servers on request
They ignore your request when you get in touch with them they claim these groups you request don't exist for them to add them.

Then they're blowing smoke. No reason they can't, like XS/SSL-news magically stopped syncing.

They added a group when I requested for it. But then after a year or so I tried requesting to add another one it didn't work so it's hit and miss.
Some EU providers added it even when I wasn't their client.Giganews refused to add it straightaway because I wasn't their client.

Few days ago bunch of us did the group request with no luck then we did again yesterday followed with an email asking why they wont add groups so far none of us got a response and of course the groups are still not available.
