Cannot use forum

[Julie]

Please email any responses, thank you.

Help! The MS Community Forums are running 5 hours behind
real time, and there are only a fraction of the normal
volume of posts.

Is anyone else noticing this? I posted 8 times and only
one post "made it" into a forum.

-I am not on a network.
-I live within 200 miles of Redmond.
-Problem began when I was not on the computer.
-Forums were normal between about 1AM and 6AM this
morning, while I was asleep.
-Non-MS forums I visit are completely normal.

How can I be the only one with this problem. We are all
logging on to the same MS site.

If you have any ideas, I need an email response, obviously.
Thanks!

Instead of using a web-based newsreader, use the newsreader in Outlook =
Express.

An easier way to read, post, and find newsgroup messages:

You and Candace have something in common, caused by both of you using a web
interface as your newsgroup newsreader ("Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000").
Do as Nicholas suggested and switch to something better, such as Outlook
Express.

(Wonder why she wants us to email our responses? Take a guess <VBG>)
