Get help in Office newsgroup....again

[Diane Ross]

(Note the Office newsgroup messages from the Mactopia forum interface have
not been showing up for users that use a newsreader. This problem happened
around Sept 24. Your questions are not being ignored. We just can't see
them.)

Ask your questions using Entourage's newsreader.

Hi Diane -

I appreciate what you're hoping to do & applaud the effort but I'm afraid it
appears you're wasting you're time. Those who would benefit from the
explanation aren't seeing it - it seems that Mactopia/WebCrossings is no
more effective at receiving new posts via NNTP than it is at replicating
*to* NNTP. Neither of you messages are showing up in the Office Forum :-(

They are showing up in Google and mackb.com pages.

Yeah, but new messages posted from sources other than Mactopia *are* being
replicated via NNTP, so those folks using Google Groups, etc. are getting
replies. It's just the poor folks posting directly through the Mactopia web
interface who aren't getting responses but neither are they getting the
posts to other groups either.

IOW, the people who need the explanation aren't getting it & those who are
getting it don't need it Just trying to save you some keystrokes

Gotcha! Let's hope MS gets it act together and fixes the problem.

This has gone beyond pathetic, but we're powerless on this end :-(

It had occurred to me to put an announcement like yours in the Forum itself,
but I doubt anyone would even see it... I may still give it a try.

BTW - Happy New Year
