Guest Ben Stevenson Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 My microsoft.public.windows newsgroups seem to be broken. After I post a question, I may see at most one reply. My reply to it is no more seen and that goes for whatever other replies I get. I have to go to google groups or the microsoft websites to see the rest. Is there anyway to repair my newsgroups? TIA
