Well, Microsoft employees or not, I've tried to show my appreciation for the diligent, in-depth support of the MVPs and the other people who have pitched in, and I know I'm not going to enjoy hunting for comparable help. Install the Microsoft NNTP Bridge http://connect.microsoft.com/MicrosoftForums/ and you'll have it all again. |

Downloaded both bridges, installed, attempted the setting-up, got icons on screen, Double-clicked and.... No characters, just small squares where characters should be?

Any advice PLEASE before this help line disappears for ever leaving me clutching a bent MS straw in a rising tide of no Usenet ! (OK, OK, so I mix my metaphors as well....... ) An unhappy roj |

Yes that could be true However there will be no Microsoft people visiting it. Like there is now. Russ Russ, I have gotten good help from MVPs here over the years and appreciated it very much. Now I'm trying to follow your advice and have succeeded in registering in NNTP, in the Forum "Answers.NNTP Bridge"..... I got to microsoft.connect.nntpbridgediscussion and read some of the postings. I figured that would be a good starting point. I didn't find a way to post my own query and as I write this, I don't even know how to get back where I was. I suppose I could grope around and maybe find it, but I'd sure like an icon on my desktop, or a listing in my Mozilla servers from which entries like msnews.microsoft.com are going to disappear. I'm sure I'm not the only lost traveler who needs a helping hand to cross over the bridge. |
