Guest Steve Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Re: Can't post a new topic on newsgroups After reading through this thread I'm not sure I understood what the solution is. I, too am having this problem. I'm using XP, IE 6.0. I can reply to a post but when I click on "NEW" nothing happens. My popups are turned off. I tried the "poo" rename thing, too. The other thing that happens is when I click on a topic the post doesn't appear in the right panel. I have to double click on it to read it. I have the same setup at my office...XP Pro and IE 6 and everything works fine. It must be some IE setting. Any ideas?
