How to subscribe - and finding my posts

[Lee Beck]

I have found MS Discussion Newsgroups helpful. However, I have a hard time
finding the question that I ask and/or determining when (if) someone
responds. I check the box "Notify me..." but never get an email notifying me
of replies. I do a search for [my name] and get no returns.

What is the protocol for getting notificatons and finding my own posts?

thanks

The facility to have e-mailed notifications has been broken for months. Use
Google Groups to search for your posts, or see

The notifcation has been broken for a long time now - hopefully someone
somewhere is looking into it.
In the MS Discussion system, click on your name in the message box to see
your profile, then click on Recent Message to display all the messages you
have posted.

You can also use Google Groups or Outlook Express to search for your
postings, unless you are like me and corporate policy does not allow Outlook
Express :-(

Hope this helps

Thanks. I just tried the "profile" trick and it works fine for me.
