where is my question?
I just posted a question about seeing if I can set up a password at system
startup but it has disappeared. So, again, can I set up a password to appear before windows loads, at the start of bootup? Many thanks, |

Many thanks, Your post of just 4 minutes ago is there. Next time wait a few minutes before wondering where it is. This is Usenet. There is no immediate gratification here. Not only do you have to wait until your post shows up but you also have to wait even longer for someone to happen to visit the group that happens to think they know something of your problem that happens to find your thread interesting that decides to read it and who happens to then think they can respond to it. This is Usenet, not a prattling chat room where posts show up immediately with the expectation that they must be addressed immediately else they become quickly stale and roll out of view. It takes time to accept new posts and it takes time to peer them to other NNTP servers. At your own NNTP server, it might be 10 minutes, or longer, from when the server accepts your post (your newsreader gets an OK status back) to when it shows up in the articles database. I don't use Microsoft's NNTP server anymore but when I did it was a couple minutes before it showed up. And then you are not directly using their NNTP server but the webnews-for-dummies gateway to Usenet so they can pretend they have forums and that might add more delay. What is Usenet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsgroups http://www.masonicinfo.com/newsgroups.htm http://www.mcfedries.com/Ramblings/usenet-primer.asp When using a webnews-for-dummies interface, like Microsoft's Communities or Google Groups or a forum-to-Usenet proxy, those are gateways to Usenet. Despite the appearance of a forum, you are participating in a newsgroup (Usenet). |
