Guest Craig Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Hello Everyone, I have recently gave up my subscriptions to Experts Exchange due to the lack of responses when posting an item. (The help was perfect when someone did respond) My question is, I have posted a "How to" on here, and I would like someone to tell me where to view it or search "My Questions" at a later time. If this is not a possibility, I would like to know. Thanks everyone.

Hi - my advice is that you not use Google Groups to access the newsgroups. Google Groups is wonderful for searching old posts, but is not the best way to use the groups 'live'. Nor is the MS web interface. Instll a news client, such as Forte Agent, Thunderbird, or even Outlook Express instead. It's a lot easier to do nearly everything that way. You can mark messages to be watched, filter the views so you can see replies to your posts easily, and search. The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can subscribe to as many groups as you like; no authentication is required.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Re: Help Using this site. Hello Craig, See the suggestions from Lanwench and use a free newsreader for it. Then you can have all groups you need in a good overview also for reviewing and depending on your newsreader you have also tools for marking etc. I use this one: 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 > Hello Everyone, > > I have recently gave up my subscriptions to Experts Exchange due to > the lack of responses when posting an item.
