Guest Bob Day Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I'm using windows XP Pro high-end system and have a couple problems with various newsgroups or forums... I use the web interface instead of Outlook express; is there a newsgroup on solving problems concerning newsgroups? Here are the two problems: first one I subscribe to newsgroup and receiving e-mail there is always a link in the e-mail go to my post and the response. However probably 50% of time that link does not work on various Microsoft newsgroups. It opens an explorer and simply displays a blank page with the word done in the lower left corner. I often have to find a newsgroup by exactly searching on the title that appears in the e-mail in Google. The second problem in only happens with Microsoft Vista newsgroup. I am unable to sign in with my passport which works fine in all other newsgroups. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks, Bob
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Re: Is there a newsgroup for problems with newsgroups? Hello Bob, If you use newsgroups more often, do switch to a newsreader instead using the webinterface. You can use outlook express or any other newsreader, lot's of them are freeware. I use for example Omea reader: http://www.jetbrains.com/omea/reader/index.html Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. ** Please do NOT email, only reply to Newsgroups ** HELP us help YOU!!! http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm > I'm using windows XP Pro high-end system and have a couple problems > with > various newsgroups or forums... > I use the web interface instead of Outlook express; is there a > newsgroup on > solving problems concerning newsgroups? > Here are the two problems: > first one I subscribe to newsgroup and receiving e-mail there is > always a > link in the e-mail go to my post and the response.

Guest Dave Patrick Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Re: Is there a newsgroup for problems with newsgroups? The first problem is possibly with your mail client so I'd check for a group and or support there as the first step. The second issue probably here. http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.news.server&cat=en_US_f254f3bb-fc2e-41f5-921c-e6afe07b9a3a&lang=en&cr=US -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.
