Unable to subscribe to new groups after adding newsgroup account

It appears there is no longer any way to manually add/remove groups once you have already made a newsgroup account in 10.53. I simply can't find a way to get the subscribe window to show up. Am I blind, or is it now impossible without adding a new newsgroup?

Under the "Newsgroups at foo" access point in the mail panel, there will be a view for each newsgroup. Right click on one of the views and goto properties.

This is only accessible if you have already subscribed to at least one newsgroup. If you haven't, for example because you had to turn on TSL for the incoming server (which isn't an option during the add new server setup), you won't be able to add any new subscriptions.

Ah, yes, I see. Not very user friendly of Opera to do that. You should file a bug and be extra specific just in case someone overlooks this like I did. Also, mention the URL to this thread in the bug. And, post the bug number (minus the @...) here after you're done.

In this case though, just load the URI in the address field again. Then you can subscribe. To find the server name, right-click on the newgroup access point, goto properties and goto the servers tab. for example.

Ok, reported as DSK-298057. Glad to see I wasn't just being blind.
