From: Gil on 12 Jan 2010 16:42 Sorry to "hijack" this thread, but I cannot start a new thread. I've tried in several groups and get the same thing. When I click on New > Question or New > General Comment, nothing happens. I can reply to posts and I can be notified of replies. Any idea what might be happening? Thanks
From: Daddy on 12 Jan 2010 17:15 It's best to read this newsgroup (and all newsgroups) as they were intended to be read: with a newsreader. Outlook Express is your newsreader if you're using Windows XP. "Setting Up Outlook Express Newsreader" http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/outlookexpressnewreader.htm Windows Live Mail is your newsreader in Windows Vista and 7 "Microsoft Newsgroup Setup Instructions for Windows Live Mail" http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/ms-newsgroup-setup-instructions-windows-live-mail/ There are also third-party newsreaders that you may prefer.

From: pbkry2r on 12 Jan 2010 19:47 I was having that problem and realized that pop-ups were being blocked for this site. Once I allowed them for this page, I could then create a new question/comment. Hope that helps! "Gil" wrote: > Sorry to "hijack" this thread, but I cannot start a new thread. I've tried in > several groups and get the same thing.

From: Gil on 12 Jan 2010 21:31 Nice try, but I use Windows Live - as it was intended. I have not used OE in years and refuse to use it for any reason - even if its for this site. Thankfully, a post by pbkry2r was able to remedy the "problem".

Bingo! I had previously allowed pop-ups at a higher level site, but not the one needed for the various groups. I simply allowed pop-ups for this site and it worked. Sometimes the simple things can be overlooked. Thank you. Gil "pbkry2r" wrote: > I was having that problem and realized that pop-ups were being blocked for > this site.
