Like the wide-screen view w/ 3 columns for RSS feeds. Use RSS feeds extensively.

Rc’vd prompt technical assistance when suddenly my registration # mysteriously wouldn’t work. Browser cookies have to be enabled when logging registration # within NNW. Apparently, Newsgator NNW rechecks reg. # about once a wk.

Repeatedly rc’vd error message trying to re-register: “We’re sorry but we cannot locate this user account information. Please check the information you entered and try again. If you continue to have difficulties please contact technical support at support@newsgator.com.” Contacted tech support.

Tech assistance promptly suggested screenshots of log-in process, which I sent them. They responded quickly in 1.5 days w/ correct CAUSE & subsequent WORKAROUND: “This is a problem with the wizard losing session state. This is usually caused by cookies being turned off in Safari. Since NetNewsWire uses Apple Webkit - the same engine as Safari - it shares security settings.” I suggest that notification of “cookies enabled to log-in” for activation process would be helpful.

FYI: actual price is $29.95 not $24.95.

I have NetNewsWire 2.1.1 and it works fine. After reading these reader comments, I think I will stick with this issue. Anyone see any need to update??
