Guest BeBopaLula Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Re: Testing. please ignore I didn't read any untoward, politically incorrect (lol), or nasty language, so , NO, it's totally "appropriate". <VBG> But anyway, I am using OE here, and all I know is that there was *nothin' happnin*. Not the first time it's been like that on the servers - and seems even more common with OE - when there's some conniption fit somewhere along the line - than it does with The MS web page. Even Google groups access was about the same. At any rate, maybe it's a combination of things. Maybe there weren't any posts. Maybe the usual denizens are away on vacation or have migrated to XP groups or are gone for the long weekend.... or maybe no-one has broken anything lately... or maybe the server had a case of colic.... <g> But I saw that was "Nothing Happening". Even now, between this post and the most recent, I only see 10 new topics (not including the one which was removed from the newsgroup) <shrug> Things aren't as they once were. <doffs hat> Thanks for the tip though. :-) Cheers.

Guest MEB Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Re: Testing. please ignore I would say, to also be aware that for some reason; for instance when accessing the group tonight, though 75 messages were shown upon initial contact for download [a couple days of messages], it only downloaded 55, the rest {?} are not to be found; so there is definitely something going on the server end. It seems OE always show an initial amount [as indicated by the server] which is thereafter lesser when actually downloaded. I am presently running no blocks or auto-deletes... -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com ________ "Iceman" <ismand_57@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:%23$Ib2QA7HHA.4476@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... | In this group AlmostBob wrote in message | news:O0xtqP26HHA.3900@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl | | > Dont know if this message is appropriate, | > if you arent reading this group using the microsoft news server you | > may not be getting all the posts when they are posted from delays | > between the MS and ISP versions of the newsgroup | > if not at MS this link | > http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion | > will open your newsreader to the MS server and read the group there | | But be aware that msnews.microsoft.com has become very slow and flaky over | the past few months. ;-) | |
