This newsgroup and others will be migrating into the forums?
in [Windows XP]

From: Brian V on 15 May 2010 02:39 I read on a web-link from Microsofts site that these newsgroups will be eliminated in June and that they will be transfered to the Microsoft forums. If so, will all the posts be transfered and also in my profile? Or will all my saved posts be lost and or deleted and everything starts again? I just want to confirm this since in the last few days I have been unable to log on here, I thought this place was down. Thank you.

Some newsgroups will be dropped on June 1st. No newsgroup content will be "transferred" to any forum.

From: 24ggirl on 16 May 2010 07:08 I assume you mean in the new forums that the one I just posted to is the one that will be online for 7 years, right?
