technical problem of newsgroup usage
Hi All,
For some time I can't use Notify feature of this newsgroup. When I check Notify me checkbox in my own posts, it works, but pressing Update notify button for other posts doesn't. Can anybody tell me the reason or put me in the right direction where to ask this question? Thanks, Stefi |

technical problem of newsgroup usage
I think you'll find that there isn't a notify feature of *this newsgroup*.
What I guess you're referring to is a feature of Microsoft's web interface to the newsgroup. There is a "Contact Us" link at the foot of http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...verview.mspx#2, and at the foot of http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...fault.mspx?d=1, but it returns "We're sorry, but we were unable to service your request.", so it isn't clear how you are supposed to contact Microsoft about problems with that interface. http://www.microsoft.com/library/gal...eNotifications implies that the notification ought to work. The flakiness of the web interface is one of the reasons why many (most?) regular contributors to the group don't use that means of access. -- David Biddulph "Stefi" wrote in message ...

technical problem of newsgroup usage
Hi David ,
I meant "To sign up for notifications when you find an interesting thread, select the thread that you want to sign up for, and then click Notify me of replies (above the message pane)." from http://www.microsoft.com/library/gal...eNotifications I made some additional testing and found that clicking the "Notify me of replies (above the message pane)" I get a refusing answer (Request is unsuccesful, try later - or something like this, I'm translating back from Hungarian, the original English words can differ), nevertheless the request IS granted, I get notifications. It's very misleading and annoying. Earlier this feature worked well for me. How can I restore the correct operation? Thanks, Stefi |
