I've been lurking around the forum for quite some time looking up info but finally decided to make an account. This is neither a forum, nor a chat room; it's a Usenet newsgroup. Welcome. (What you've made is actually a post, not an account; since you referred to it as a forum, I suspect what you've done is open an account with something - such as Google news - that allows you to post. [Yours seems to be something called "londonbanter", I think.] If you find usenet is for you, you may find use via a more conventional means - i. e. a news client, such as Outlook Express, and a news server, such as your ISP's one if it provides one or eternal-september or one of the others if not - a better way of using newsgroups; but stay and join in a while anyway [though see next paragraph for advice].) What Bruce meant by "not a chat room" is that it's usual - and, sort of, preferred - to only make postings related to the name of the newsgroup: in this case, to ask a question about Windows XP, or give advice when someone else has done so and you know an answer. If you've been "lurking" for a while, you'll have seen the "flavour" of the 'group; all 'groups have their own character (and characters!). But welcome, anyway: usenet needs all the support it can get IMO! (If you decide to investigate accessing usenet in a more conventional manner, that's exactly the sort of thing to ask about in this particular newsgroup: not that it won't have been asked before, but this _is_ a 'group for new users, and I for one will help, or try to!) -- J.

OP (that's Original Poster): what you've "made an account" with is the system by which you _access_ the newsgroup (such as Google groups); the newsgroup itself (which isn't a web forum, though it may look like one, depending on how you're accessing it) doesn't have accounts - anyone can post. -- J.
