X-posted to .excel.programming, .misc, .charting, .worksheet.functions

These Excel groups, indeed all the "microsoft.public" groups are available
via the Communities web interface, "WebNews"

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

- and via NTTP newsreaders, eg Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Firefox. Most
of the numerous web mirrors, eg Google-groups, can be considered as NTTP.
(In passing, some of the mirrors tend to give a misleading impression they
host these groups themselves.)

Currently, possibly since 13-Oct, most if not all NTTP posts are not being
made visible to WebNews. So anyone posting on WebNews probably will not see
replies from NTTP posters.

NTTP posters seem to be able to see WebNews posts.

A clue as to how the post was sent is to look at the headers, if you see the
following it's probably WebNews and the poster may not see your reply.

This seems to happen about once a month.

The duration varies from hours to several days. A week is unusual.

I noticed the problem just about when you noted it and posted this general
heads up message:

So what about the innocent question I posted (successfully I was told)
in the name of Weatherman on Sunday, concerning arbitrary X axes used
by Excel when I mix column and scatter on the same chart? Does this
mean it may have been answered somewhere and I can't see it?

Confused!

I can't see any new threads from "Weatherman" on 19-Oct to any of the 4
groups I cross posted this to. Looks like you posted this through
google-groups which is effectively NTTP. If you had posted similarly it
should have got through and you should have been able to see all replies.

Which excel group did you post to, what sender name, and what was the
subject line. Also how did you post (eg via google-groups).

People posting through Webnews (see link in my OP) will probably not have
seen replies sent via NTTP. That's irritating both for them (not that
they'll know) and for those who have taken the trouble to reply.

Recently it seems that old NTTP are starting to trickle through to WebNews.
At least some have arrived but many still missing.

Peter T

But Sunday was 18th, not 19th, though I still can't spot anything obvious.

And by NTTP, I assume you mean NNTP?

What is the best way (or ways) to read and post to this newsgroup?

I ordinarily use groups.google.com/group/
microsoft.public.excel.programming,
but it seems to have its problems, too.

How does one use Firefox?

Hi David,

Right on both counts, clearly you've got a much better eye for detail than
me g

Brian -

In the past I have used Outlook Express on Windows XP.

Now I use its replacement, Windows Mail on Windows Vista.

I can't recall ever having any problems with either one.
