(incorrect quote level due to poster quoting new material. left as
is.)
My post may not have been as clear as i intended, sorry. I'll give
a senario: I have opened a newsgroup and I am reading a posted
message and its accompanying replies. The accompanying replies may
contain info that i wish to make note of, an if its a long post,
when the message refreshes
it jumps back to the beginning of the message and you must scrowl
back down to the point where you were reading. I was wondering if
the interval
of the refresh rate was adjustable?


In addition to the previous comments why not just open the message
in its own window? (Ctrl-o)

BTW I no longer subscribe to OE NG; I saw this in IE.General. Not
sure why it was cross-posted there? ; }


In this case I believe the OP chose those two groups IIRC. It's not
unusual since it's a "general" group and IE/OE go together up to 6.
We do have a do-gooder in our midst that likes to decide what groups need
to see a post, and often adds to a cross-post but in this case I think he's
innocent.

Thanks to all who were kind enough to answer. I did check under my
Accounts, msnews properties and found my "server timeouts" settings
were set to to the short end at 30sec. I changed them to the long
side, 5min. Lets see what type of change, if any, this makes. Thanks
again for the help.
