PROBLEMS POSTING MESSAGES

[Paul Koukos]

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.

The Web interface is clunky and loaded with bugs. Use a newsreader instead.

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
