From: yuppicide on 8 Jul 2010 12:35 I put "newsgroups" in quotes 'cause they're not newsgroups anymore. Anyway, I had a bunch of newsgroups setup in Outlook Express 6 at work. Slowly the newsgroups are disappearing. I figured out how to get the NNTP's installed. I wondered why they weren't working, it was just that these computers are old (single core processor, 1GB ram, on XP Pro) and it took awhile for the NNTP software to open. So, once the software opened I was able to hit START. I already had a login to the website, all I needed to do was activate NNTP from My Settings. Now that NNTP software is activated, I'm not sure how to read or post in the areas I used to use find places. For Example, I used to have about 8 or 9 newsgroups that I used to read and post in.. Word, Excel, one for Windows XP Hardware, etc. Out of all the newsgroups I used to read or participate in, there's only three left and those will be gone some day. So, I'm in Outlook Express how do I find and add forums I want to read? With this NNTP Bridge you can only read and not make posts? If so, that is useless to me and I'll uninstall the thing.. the reason I have this is because it looks like I'm typing an email rather than surfing the web. This way I can get help when I need help and stay under the radar.

Then you can get a list of the fora via Tools | Newsgroups. After that you can subscribe and post as in OE. steve "yuppicide" <nosir(a)nosir.com> wrote in message news:eifKmurHLHA.1996(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... >I put "newsgroups" in quotes 'cause they're not newsgroups anymore. > > Anyway, I had a bunch of newsgroups setup in Outlook Express 6 at work. > Slowly the newsgroups are disappearing. > > I figured out how to get the NNTP's installed.

Thanks. I thought that was a list of the old Newsgroups because most of the ones I used to talk in are not in the list. I am guessing they did away with a lot of them, such as the hardware one.
