Not getting my post registered

[Kazlou]

Over the last couple of months I have posted 6 questions on the Access and
the Word sections. Each time I have said 'yes' to notifications and
everything has seemed to work ok. However I have never received any answers
to my questions and when I go back and search, they don't exist.
Hopefully this one will work - has anyone else experienced this?

thanks
karen

Kazlou,
I'm sure others have had similar problems.
However, this newsgroup deals with Microsoft Access, a relational
database application.
As a starting point, you'd have better luck posting this question to
a newsgroup that deals with your particular Email/Newsgroup
Reader application. (which you did not indicate)
Also, include the information about how you're connecting to the
newsgroups. (Server?)

The "Notify me of replies" is currently not functioning. The news servers
have experienced some issues but most posts finally end up making it through.
You just need to be patient and possibly try both web and news reader
interfaces.

Yes.

The Microsoft web interface is broken. Notification does NOT work as
advertised. Microsoft has been repeatedly told about this, but it has not been
fixed since October.

Note that the webpage is NOT the same as the forum. The actual forum messages
are stored on the msnews.microsoft.com News Server; you can use Outlook
Express, or Windows Live Mail, or Thunderbird, or Agent, or any of many other
"newsreader" programs to get to the messages; doing so will be faster, and
will let you keep messages of interest stored on your own computer. Most of
the MVPs and other regular volunteers use such programs (not all).

You can search for archival posts using a competitor's program:
http://groups.google.com. Choose the "Advanced Search" option and you can
search by newsgroup, by date, author, subject, etc.
