For several months now, even though I check "Notify me of replies" when I
post a question, I'm not receiving 3-mail notifications in my Hotmail
account. And nothing is in the Junk folder either. Is this happening to
anyone else and is there a fix? I love these newsgroups but it is very
difficult in the busy ones like this one to find answers that might be posted
weeks later than the original request.

Thanks in advance.

The notification feature has been broken since time out of mind, and it
won't be fixed because these forums are closing in two days. Reportedly
notification does (sometimes) work in the Answers forums.

Actually, the notifications haven't been working for quite some time. :-(

For what it's worth, you may have noticed that Microsoft are closing these
newsgroups on June 1 (unfortunately). While the newsgroups will live on (but
with less traffic) on Usenet, there are new Microsoft-hosted forums at
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/officeword.

Arlene, that functionality doesn't work but it doesn't matter now because
this site is shutting down on Jun 1st and being replaced by:-

http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/officeword

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thank you for that information. I'm browsing around that site and it looks
like there will be quite a learning curve since its functionality seems quite
different from this one. Hopefully, I'll get used to it and figure out how to
post, search, and respond.
