From: Yves Dhondt on 27 May 2010 15:00 I'm hoping that someone at Google will pick up on the service the NNTP bridge is using to write their own 'frontend'. Although posting to their frontend might become hard as it requires WL login. It took the people responsible for the msdn library at Microsoft almost 4 years to come up with a decent user interface. They now have 3 views, going from feature rich to very basic. I'm hoping that it will take the Forum people less than 4 years to come to a similar user interface choice. Yves "Suzanne S.

OK, now I feel thick. I've downloaded the bridge (both of them, actually) and tried to follow the installation instructions but have hit a brick wall. I'm assuming the bridge for this server is the Microsoft Answers bridge and not the Microsoft Forums bridge. The instructions all point to the MSDN forums; if I log into Microsoft Answers there's no "My Settings" link to click in order to check the "Use NNTP Bridge" box. Thick, thicky thicky thick bloke. And for some reason my tea tastes mildly of bacon.
