I also belong in the Vista Group, and when I try to post something thru my XP
Computer, this Window does not pop up for me to post.

Why is it doing that?

Is there another way to post?

Thanks.

I do not know why it is doing that - strange popup blocker (Hold down CTRL
when you try to post.)

In any case - yes - there are other ways to post. You seem to be using the
horrid web interface to access these newsgroups. In my opinion, those are
little more than a hack.

See Bruce Hagen's response for one way...

Yes, there is certainly another, and *much* better, way to post.
Here's my standard message on this subject:

This isn't a forum; it's a newsgroup. The reason you're having such
problems is that you are using the awful web interface to read this
newsgroup--it's the slowest, clunkiest, most error-prone method there
is. Do yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader, such as Outlook
Express, which comes with Windows XP, or Windows Mail, which comes
with Vista. See
