Hi All.....
I've had several responses I've made to posts the last couple of days not display correctly. Both this Group and the Worksheets Group......sometimes my response just does not show up.......sometimes it shows up and disappears shortly thereafter......sometimes I get a notice of reply and when I go to check it out, there are no responses displayed......... Anybody know what's up? Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 |

Use a news reader to access the groups instead of the Web interface is
my suggestion. See http://aumha.org/nntp.htm and news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.excel.misc CLR wrote: Hi All.....

There can be several explanations. The most likely.... It appears that you are using the web interface to MS Discussion Groups, http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups . That interface is notoriously unreliable. My theory is that there is poor communication between the web server and the news server within MS. I have switched to using Outlook Expression to access the MS news server directly. That seems to be reliable. However, I don't know of any way to receive notifications when a reply is posted to a thread you started or to an interesting thread. However, do keep in mind that there can be delays between posting a message and when it appears on the news server, even if you post to and read from the MS news server directly using OE. Since I'm not familiar with the MS implementation of the response notification feature, I don't know if a delay is possibe. Also, there can be delays between posting on one news server and seeing it on another news server. In fac, there can be a complete failure to ever see it on another news server. For some reason, it is very common for the Google Groups news server to never receive (or at least display) the initial message and some responses posted to and visible on the MS news server. |

I don't know of any way to receive notifications when
a reply is posted to a thread you started or to an interesting thread You don't get an instant notice of replies but you can "watch" a thread. MessageWatch Conversation. Then, if you want, sort so that watched threads are on top (what I do). -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "JoeU2004" wrote in message ...
