Don't recieve responses??

[Shane Devenshire]

Hi Folks

Everytime I check the "Notify me of replies" box I don't get any replies.
When I come back online I see that there have been many replies. Is this
broken or what?


Cheers,

Hi Shane,
Why worry? These newsgroups have been given the death sentence!
We must use Answers forums from now on

Hi Shane,
Here is the site
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/default.mspx

Here is the third para
Beginning in June 2010, Microsoft will begin closing newsgroups and
migrating users to Microsoft forums that include Microsoft Answers, TechNet
and MSDN. This move will centralize content, make it easier for contributors
to retain their influence, reduce redundancies and make content easier to
find. Overall, forums offer a better spam management platform that will
improve customer satisfaction by encouraging a healthy discussion space.

best wishes
Bernard
