How to find these posts again?? I can not permlink to them!

[davidd]

How can I find posts to Microsoft Communities again in the future? This
dynamic interfaces does not seem to allow me to permlink to them.

I've used the Usenet before and would usually use Google News to post/track
on here but my company's IT department does not allow us to use that site...

I'm glad to be able to use Microsoft Communities to still reach some of the
Usenet but my posts are nearly useless to me a day or two after I make them
because I can no longer link to them...

Thanks,

David

Hello davidd,

I think you'll find that most of the regular posters here use a
newsreader like Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Agent etc.

The newsgroups are all accessible through the news server:
msnews.microsoft.com. The project newsgroups are:
microsoft.public.project
microsoft.public.project.developer
microsoft.public.project.server

If you can only use the web interface (URL below), you can search for
posts by you by entering your posting name (davidd) in the Search for:
box at the top of the newsgroup.

http://www.microsoft.com/office/com...spx?dg=microsoft.public.project&lang=en&cr=US

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Thanks Julie. I use Outlook Express at home but at work I am limited to the
web interface. I have found myself using web forums much more often than
Usenet over the last few years and now keep copies of links to all my forum
posts in an online database. I will just keep a copy of the post title in my
database and search for it.

The "notify me of replies" feature is great but the URL included took me to
an inactive page. Nice exercise, now I know how to find my way here from
http://microsoft.com (ugh).

Thanks again,

David

You're welcome David. I find the web interface slow and difficult to
follow up so I only use it when no other option is available.
