Opening Up Newsgroups

[Guest]

When I sign in, my next page was:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx

Now, somehow, I must reroute myself to this page after I sign in.

HOW CAN I DIRECT MY COMPUTER TO GO DIRECTLY TO THIS PAGE WHEN I SIGN IN??

Thank you,

FLKulchar

try using a real newsreader instead of the clunky web interface (unless you
are behind a corporate firewall) - you will find your news reading a far
better experience.

Thanks,

I do use a newsreader also..it is just that I would like to revert to my old
and established method with the community newsgroups as well.

Use a proper newsreader and turn off your capslock instead.
nntp://msnews.microsoft.com/

Use a proper newsreader and turn off your capslock instead.
nntp://msnews.microsoft.com/

There's that echo again
For goodness sake put it in the correct format so it can be opened in OE

That is the correct format for an NNTP URL. Please read RFC 1738. If OE
can't understand correctly formed URLs, this is an Outlook Express bug that
needs to be fixed, not something the rest of the world should work around.

If you are going to reply to someone who is probably using Outlook Express,
don't use links that are RFC compliant, but don't work with Outlook Express.
