All of a sudden, all of my several different posts have disappeard although
the titles still show in my profile. When I click on them I get a message
which sometimes says "no posts available for this thread" or "service
temporarily unavailable" Can anyone offer an explanation please?

By October, the MS news server will cease to exist. Other news servers
will continue to carry the newsgroups. How long, no one knows.

If you subscribed to a server such as Eternal-September, you will find
your lost groups. That said, there will be less people asking and
answering posts as time goes on. I am posting now in the new Microsoft
Answers forums as well as the Usenet groups.

You do not need the NNTP Bridge to access the forums. You can decide on
that later.

Hello Bruce. Thanks for the reply. Before I signed in I did a search and
found one of the links you mentioned. It all makes sense now. Sadly though,
my current threads have not been transferred to Answers. I'll have to start
again. Anyway, Thanks again. Your information was very helpful. Brian

That's not going to happen. If you posted in a now-discontinued MS
newsgroup you may find you posts archived in Google Groups (e.g.,
http://groups.google.com/group/micr..._maintain/browse_frm/thread/5aed4135ab0aa461;
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers/topics;
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support/topics).
