hi, Meinolf!

I have just started using those forums (with NNTP Bridge and OE) a little
bit but they way the scrambled the naming around I cannot always find the
"replacement" forum for what the news group used to be. It seems like a lot
of them don't have a Forum counterpart.

Hello Phillip,

I realized the same and talked about to our german Microsoft people. Unfortunal
the sometimes crappy names or only numbers for the old newsgroups can't be
changed is the answer. Also they didn't create an equivalent version for
each newsgroup.

What me helps to find them, if exist, is to use the forums name shown in
the last part of the url, this is often the same as it is listed within the
NNTP bridge.

This one may be a good starting forum to bring on a discussion, to get maybe
a forum for special topics, which doesn't exist until now:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/reportabug/threads

Best regards
