"Notify me of replies" not working
For several months now, even though I check "Notify me of replies" when I
post a question, I'm not receiving 3-mail notifications in my Hotmail account. And nothing is in the Junk folder either. Is this happening to anyone else and is there a fix? I love these newsgroups but it is very difficult in the busy ones like this one to find answers that might be posted weeks later than the original request. Thanks in advance. Arlene |

"Notify me of replies" not working
The notification feature has been broken since time out of mind, and it
won't be fixed because these forums are closing in two days. Reportedly notification does (sometimes) work in the Answers forums. -- Suzanne S.

Arlene, that functionality doesn't work but it doesn't matter now because
this site is shutting down on Jun 1st and being replaced by:- http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...ory/officeword If my comments have helped please hit Yes. (The new group gives you email replies).

"Notify me of replies" not working
Actually, the notifications haven't been working for quite some time. :-(
For what it's worth, you may have noticed that Microsoft are closing these newsgroups on June 1 (unfortunately). While the newsgroups will live on (but with less traffic) on Usenet, there are new Microsoft-hosted forums at http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...ory/officeword. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "Arlene" wrote in message ...

"Notify me of replies" not working
Thank you for that information. I'm browsing around that site and it looks
like there will be quite a learning curve since its functionality seems quite different from this one. Hopefully, I'll get used to it and figure out how to post, search, and respond.

I'm praying they're as helpful and easy to use as this newsgroup. What is
Usenet? Do you recommend Usenet over the new forum? Will you wonderful MVPs still provide answers at the new forum?

"Notify me of replies" not working
Usenet is simply a system for internet discussion groups (= newsgroups); for
more, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet. Even after Microsoft has shut down their news server msnews.microsoft.public, it will be possible to continue posting there (for example via a server such as news.eternal-september.org if you are using a newsreader such as Outlook Express or Windows Mail), but as many people won't be aware of this, the groups will eventually "die." At Microsoft's web site, you will be directed to the forum, of course. Many MVPs, including myself, are already answering questions in the new forums. :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via msnews.microsoft.com) "Arlene" wrote in message ...
