Hello,
I hope someone else has experienced this problem before. On most computers
that I use up until recently I was able to sign in here, go to whatever
newsgroup I wanted and searched for threads and post and get answers fairly
quickly.
Now suddenly my browser has "Error on page" in the lower left corner, and
when I press the sign in button it doesn't do anything. This goes for the
edit profile and even the help button.
I sent an inquiry to Microsoft, and they're telling me that I have to go
through all this configure subscriptions ...... but that only seems to be
for news "Letters" not being able to participate in this forum. They go on
to say I have to configure a NNTP browser etc... etc... etc...
Having done all of that, whenever I FINALLY get back here I get the same
thing. I'm on someone elses computer and am able to access this the same way
I have always done, yet find no differences in my browser configuration.
All machines I'm using are Windows XP SP2 machines, P4 using IE6 SP2.
I have a link on my computer in my favorites to this part of the site,
Microsoft states that my link isn't working properly, yet even if I hand type
www.microsoft.com/technet/community/newsgroups/default.mspx like I did on
this machine I get the error that not only prevents me from being able to
sign in, but when I click on a thread all I get is an empty box not allowing
me to see the content of the post.
This has been very frustrating for me as I have actively been participating
in these posts for years.
I have tried getting rid of all cookies, history and temp files in addition
to all that "Managed Newsgroups" configuration and it's not getting me
anywhere.
I have other questions to post, but want to be able to do it from my own
computer again. What am I missing?
