I was successful in loading NNTP Answers Bridge and it is working on the new
pub forum using Windows live Mail. Looks just like this news group on the
screen. Hope to see you all there when this one closes .

If I don't see you there please accept my thanks for all that you have
donated to the group. I have learned a ton.

Hi Spike,

Thanks to you too for your valuable contributions. I'm not sure what to do
with that NNTP business, I haven't looked into it. Do we have to re-register?
How does it work?

Went to the forum and registered with my windows live ID
Downloaded the NNTP files
Set up windows live mail for the forum

Took me a couple of adjustments and tweaks

Read my post in the thread below for the links and explanation:
Reminder - Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Community

Basically if you want to use a newsreader such as Outlook Express MSFT has
made a nntp bridge available. Otherwise you can just go to the forum and use
the web interface. I just find that too clunky and slow.

Thanks to you for sharing your inspirational iframe based sites with the
group and your other contributions.

I probably will not mess with the bridge, I'll just switch to the forums
<sigh>

Thank you David for all your answers and your expertise in general.

I think I'll do like Rob, I 'll try the forum and see how it goes.
