From: Chris in San Diego on 17 Feb 2010 16:24 Hi Rob, I'm using the IE/browser interface. I'll look for a newsgroup reader and give it a try.

From: Chris in San Diego on 17 Feb 2010 16:28 Hi Julie, I feel better now. :-) Yes, I was able to find my submission by scrolling through all the postings, looking for the date I submitted it, and reading the titles. I'm not familiar with news readers, but I'll follow Rob's link and see what I can learn. Thanks, Chris "JulieS" wrote: > Hi Chris in San Diego, > > No, it's not you.

From: JulieS on 17 Feb 2010 17:01 You're welcome Chris. Many of the "regulars" use news readers or post directly through Google groups. The web site is difficult to maneuver around and finding posts is a big challenge.

A real newsgroup reader will be useful to you. Keep in mind that no matter which browser (you use IE) you use, the real issue in this instance is the web site you are using. The site may or may not be a good feed of newsgroup postings. --rms www.rmschneider.com On 17/02/10 21:24, Chris in San Diego wrote: > Hi Rob, > > I'm using the IE/browser interface.
