Getting started and signing in

[Guest ladym50+]

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.

This is not a "board," it's a newsgroup. 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. See

There is nothing you have to do but post your question

Thanks for the correction on semantics. I will check the newsreader you

recommend, and see how it works.

You're welcome, but I didn't at all mean it as a semantic correction.

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.
