I've got ALL the community messages Bwah ha ha ha
Yes well, I posted four times only to discover that when people reply, the
messages cannot be read. For those of you who tried to help, thank you. For the rest of you, if you get a message stating "Community Message not Avaliable"-- I HAVE THEM !! BWAHH HA HA HA HA Yes that's right. By connecting a suction cup to the monitor of my computer, I have sucked out all the Community Messages. And I am not giving them back !! They are going to the North Pole where they will be converted into lumps of coal over the next 362 days and then shipped to all the stockings of all the microsoft engineers who run this website next Christmas. |

The messages *can* be read by those who use a sensible method of reading the
newsgroup. It is only the Microsoft web interface to the group that is broken. As I said in a reply to another of your messages: "Don't use a faulty website when you should be using the newsgroup directly. news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.excel.misc http://support.microsoft.com/kb/171190" Those of you who are using the broken web interface will of course presumably still not be able to read my reply, or the countless other replies to similar questions over the past few days, but if and when you do eventually read these replies, you will hopefully then decide to use the newsgroup directly, or you might use Google's web interface, which isn't the ideal way of posting to the group but it does have a very good archive search (inherited from Deja News). -- David Biddulph "callmark1" wrote in message ...

Actually, Google's search function of the NNTP archives started out being
very good, for a few years after they took over the DejaNews archives. Unfortunately, over the past couple years their groups search has gone downhill. I guess since Microsoft's archiving is so bad, Google had no incentive to care. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ _______ "David Biddulph" <groups [at] biddulph.org.uk wrote in message ...

David, I'm currently using Google, I've previously used Microsoft's site but I've never used a newsreader to access these discussions, is that what you mean by a "sensible method"? I know a little about excel but I freely admit that I know nothing about newsreaders or any other method of accessing these discussion forums other than through a website. Could you possibly briefly explain what method you use and why you think that's the best way (if, indeed, you think that). Clearly one reason is that it currently functions better than MS's website but are there any other good reasons? Thank you for your time. |

Another reason is that a newsreader *has always functioned better* than the MS web interface. In my other post I link to a protocol for setting up a newsreader (such as Outlook Express) to read these messages. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ _______ "barry houdini" wrote in message ...
