Hi

For a few days now I have been unable to post a question on the communities
website using my desktop computer which runs Windows XP and IE7. (I'm using a
friend's pc to post this). When I hit 'New' and then 'Question' the screen
flickers but the new question dialogue box doesn't appear. It stays on the
same page. I am presuming it is something to do with IE security settings
even though I haven't made changes lately. Also sometimes when I try to
navigate to one of the forums (specifically 'Windows XP General') I get a
load of red type saying Server error. Does anyone know what might be going
on?

Hi

Thansk for the suggestion. I don't use Outlook Express and I would rather
find the root of the problem and fix it. It seems like using another reader
is a workaround to the problem. This forum is the only one I'm having
difficulties with. Could it be my security settings do you think?

Actually, using Outlook Express is /not/ a workaround...using a web
interface /is/ a workaround. Newsgroups operate according to the NNTP
protocol, and are best followed on a real newsreader, like Outlook Express.

There are other newsreaders that many feel do a better job than OE, but
the truth is that virtually any dedicated newsreader does a better job
than a web interface.

Outlook Express is part of the Windows XP operating system, and it is
the default newsreader for Outlook. The Outlook Express Help file has
all the instructions you'll need to get started.

I can't help you with your posting issues because I don't use that
woebegone web interface. I imagine Microsoft offers it for people who
are too clueless to know better. That doesn't describe you, Millie.
