I am using Thunderbird for this but for some reason lately, the posts in this news group are no longer threading by subjects as they used to and as they still do in the other news groups I subscribe to. What might be going on here?

IIRC you can turn off threading by clicking the right hot spot on the news display. Perhaps you did so inadvertently?

You can click on the top bar under 'Threading' , 'From', 'Received' or 'Order Received'.I use 'Order received'.... Seems to order things reasonably....
Your electronic spider ran out of silk?
If you've accidentally clicked on any of the sort options, it unthreads.
If you click on View->Sort By->Threaded, it should go back to how it was. Checked on mine is "Order Received", "Ascending", and "Threaded"
HTH, Daniel.
Thanks, this did the trick. I guess I must have accidently unthreaded this NG. I'm surprised that the View->Sort By option does not apply to all NGs.
I suppose the creators of TB decided that people want to read different NGs and email folders in different manors. "This group makes more sense to just see unthreaded sorted by author" and "This group makes more sense to see threaded sorted by date".
Personally, I'm not too happy with TB as a newsgroup client, but I'm more happy with it than with Free Agent or Google Groups. Keep meaning to write my own, but I definitely don't have time for that.
