Hi Kyonshi,

(from Hamster Playground):

- In Hamster Control:
First you have to add a nntpserver, then

"Tasks" / "Setup User Tasks / Add" - give it a name and add the
nntpserver - Save

- "Tasks" / "Setup Scheduled Tasks / Add" -
Look for the Task you have created and save

This window will show all the options to configure that task.
