Guest ladym50+ Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Hi I am new in this board. When I open the forum page, I am told to read the Getting Started, and to sign in on the Sign in button at top of page. Where can I find Getting Started, and there is not a Sign in button any where on the page. I sign in by going to "New" on the left top corner of the page.Thanks. -- emm

You are using the awful web interface to read this newsgroup--it's the slowest, clunkiest, most error-prone method there is. Do yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader, such as Outlook Express, which comes with Windows.

Guest ladym50+ Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Re: Getting started and signing in -- ------------- Thanks for the correction on semantics. I will check the newsreader you recommend, and see how it works. emm "Ken Blake, MVP" wrote: > On Sun, 5 Oct 2008 08:53:01 -0700, ladym50+ > <ladym50+@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > > Hi I am new in this board.

I rather meant to point out that you are accessing this newsgroup the worst way possible, and the problems you describe are caused by that way. I also didn't mean to recommend a particular news reader (Outlook Express is not even the one I use). I recommended a newsreader *such as* Outlook Express, and mentioned that name because you already have the software and Outlook Express is a very easy way to get started using a newsreader. I certainly am not against your choosing a different news reader that you may prefer later on, once you have enough Outlook Express experience to know which news reader features are important to you. > "Ken Blake, MVP" wrote: > > > On Sun, 5 Oct 2008 08:53:01 -0700, ladym50+ > > <ladym50+@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > > > > Hi I am new in this board.
