Usenet problem - has my group been removed?

[#1]

For some years I have accessed the group uk.d-i-y through the Plusnet Usegroup service.  Today, setting up a new installation of Thunderbird, I've discovered that the group is no longer listed.  I know that it still exists, so has Plusnet's provision of it been dropped?  And if so, why?  Does anyone know?

Many thanks

Looks fine from where I'm sat 🤔

Thanks for that.  So - as I half suspected - it seems that the problem is at my end.  I'll investigate further.
