Question/issue regarding posts to this forum

[Ed Richter]

One thing that has happened on occasion on this forum is:

The other day for example I created a New Post. I did it from work, using my work email account late morning. I checked it a few times during afternoon and no one responded. Then I go home that night, check the forum from home email account (both accounts using Outlook Express) and see I had two responses, posted within minutes of my original post. For some reason though couldn't see the responses from my work email account. So last night from home I responded to one of the responses to my post. Went back into work this morning and all I could see was my original post, and my response, but the other responses were missing.

This isn't the first time I've noticed this type of behavior going on. On occasion has happened before. I may very well not be seeing other posts too, but obviously, hard to tell, however it tends to be more noticeable with my own responses.

Any idea why this sometime happens where posts/responses are MIA??

Not the irony here is someone may respond to this note, but will I know??

Are you posting directly to the MS newsgroup server or to an ISP newsgroup server?

If ISP, change both machine to point directly to the MS newsgroup server using the following:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.frontpage.client

Don't know? How can I tell? Where do I make this change?

When I click on the link, can't figure out what exactly it's doing? It kind
of appears to be doing something, but no browser window opens. It just
un-selects the message the link was in and that's it?? Don't get anything
to subscribe to?? I even tried copying and pasting link to browser window
and same thing happened. My Outlook Express window popped to front and then
just sat there.

Could that mean I am already subscribed? Do I need to do this on my machine
at work since problem with missing posts appears to be happening there more
often? I wonder if I'll be able to since there are many corporate security
systems in place?

Ed,

After you have clicked on the Link and OE open, then open the newsgroup option and subscribe, then
click to download new messages.
