First, note that this isn't really a "site," but is a newsgroup. You are accessing the newsgroup via the awful web-based interface to it, which is among the worst possible ways to do it, and the reason you are having such problems. Do yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader, such as Outlook Express, which comes with Windows.
