Often when I try and post a new question, I cannot do so. I'm signed in, I
click on 'new' and then 'question' and nothing happens. Today it worked - I'm happy! But, I've been dying to ask this question. |

You've been dying to ask this question. But, you didn't ask it?

You're right. I didn't ask it clearly - why can't I post to the group most
of the time? Instead, when I click on 'new' and then 'question', nothing happens. "Tom [Pepper] Willett" wrote: You've been dying to ask this question. But, you didn't ask it?

Are you using the Outlook Express News Reader to access this newsgroup?

The Web interface is a piece of crap. Use Outlook Express as your newsreader
instead. Setting up Outlook Express Newsreader for MSNews: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/ou...snewreader.htm And: http://www.insideoe.com/resources/co...tm#setupmsnews Or just click on this link with OE opened.

Thanks. Will try that. (And I'll suggest that they include that information
in the FAQ's). "Bruce Hagen" wrote: The Web interface is a piece of crap. Use Outlook Express as your newsreader instead.

Hi Mary Ann,
Thanks for posting the link you use to access this newsgroup via IE6. I see the same as you, when I click on 'new' and then 'question', nothing happens. I am not even going to try and trouble shoot the reason. I agree with Bruce's comment.......

Disable your third-party pop-up blocker or use OE to access MS newsgroups.

... I am accessing the newsgroup through IE 6 at the following URL: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...&lang=en&cr=US Some don't even get the popup menu associated with the New button, so be grateful you're getting that far. ; } You should then consider if your symptoms are different when you are already logged in with a "Live ID". E.g. if you are already logged in you won't need to get a prompt to do so and you won't need to be redirected from the login session back to your web interface page, which would then *subsequently* induce a popup window to show you your composition window. Also, even though you have had the good luck to see the New button's popup menu and if you have minimized all the switching by logging in first, you still have to consider if a popup stopper could be preventing the composition window from appearing because *it* looks like a popup _window_. Besides all those easily understood hurdles some posters have discovered that they happen to have some third-party programs which somehow further interfere with the above procedures. Programs installed by HP have been cited as particular suspects. Subject: Can't get "New Question" window to pop up on other computer Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2008 03:08:06 -0700 http://www.microsoft.com/communities...f41&sloc=en-us Actually I have just realized that that discussion leaves an ambiguity about "New Question". E.g. did the poster see the popup _menu_ or not (i.e. only reporting the final desired result not being seen and not clarifying what was seen.) Another possibility is that there are different "portals" which provide access to some smaller sets of newsgroups and some are known to be less well maintained than others. IOW the cause of the symptom then would have nothing to do with the poster's machine but with the server they were trying to use. FWIW I tried the one you cited and the one I cited and they both seem to work fine. As others are telling you, posting using OE is much simpler. ; ) HTH Robert Aldwinckle --- Mary Ann "Ken" wrote: Are you using the Outlook Express News Reader to access this newsgroup?
