I have Outlook express and don't like it.

I used the web interface for years *until* it was changed into it's current
configuration. When that happened a few years ago I started using OE. The
only reason I use OE is it makes finding posts I've replied to so very
simple. This is not so easy on the website.

you MVP's must have some direct channels of contact

We do, but that doesn't mean we get listened to or have a lot of influence!

Biff,

I don't know how you posted the first question in this thread but all I
see
on the Web Interface is a header and an empty post from 'Unknown'.

Looking at your post; which I can see in David's reply, I agree that the
web
interface is broken as often as working these days.

What I don't accept is the oft repeated suggestion that systems other than
the web interface should be used and my response to that is:-

I have Outlook express and don't like it.
I have Forte Agent and aren't keen on that either.
I also have access to the web interface which I like and when working
corectly is excellent and if it's there it damn well should be working or
at
least shouldn't be broken for around 50% of the time.

Microsoft is clearly interested in the web interface; or claims it is,
when
it invites 'Suggestions for Microsoft' and promises to evaluate the
possibility of including the most supported suggestions in its systems.

Come on, you MVP's must have some direct channels of contact, use them and
see if this thing can be fixed or if it can't then be taken away.

Mike; thoroughly p***** off, H

For example...

You posted this reply ( and a couple of others) in the thread titled:
Complex Countif formula:

*****
If you want to use an AND test for the 2 conditions for column B, and
then
an OR to combine that with the column C condition, you could change
Biff's
=SUMPRODUCT(SIGN((B2:B11=3)+(C2:C11=0)))
to
=SUMPRODUCT(SIGN(((B2:B11=3)*(B2:B11<=3.9))+(C2:C 11=0)))

I can see that reply in OE yet that reply isn't posted on the web
interface.
So, the OP never saw that reply. I also posted to that thread but I did
so
throught the web interface.

I guess I wasn't clear...

I use OutLook Express to access the ngs. Most people use the web
interface
to post questions. When I reply to a question that was posted through
the
web interface my reply shows up in OutLook Express but it doesn't show
up
on the web interface so the poster never sees my reply. It's not just
me.
I see the replies in OE from a lot of the regulars but those replies
aren't showing up on the web interface. At least, that's what was
happening yesterday. I haven't had a chance to check it out today.

The answer, I think, is that the newsgroups work correctly, but the MS
web interface doesn't.

Most of us would recommend other methods of access.

Does this thing (the ngs) every work correctly?

I've posted several replies to questions today through OutLook
Express
yet none of my replies shows up on the MS web interface.

If you're replying to questions and not using the web interface then
your replies are't getting posted.

So, you're not being completely ignored!
