Where did all the newsgroups go?
 

I haven't been programming for a few years now. There used to be several active newsgroups. It appears they are now defunct. Any suggestions where to find other active VB/VBA groups NOT specific to Excel.

Although I am using Excel as a platform, I think my problem is more related to Windows messaging, sub-classing etc. See my previous post "Prevent loss of SetPixel changes by window repaint".

For broader participation, you might want to post future inquiries using the
MS Answers Forums at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us, now called
Microsoft Community.

It's not that I like that interface. It's just that MS has ceased to
support the Usenet newsgroups.

Hence, participation here is limited to the sites that share a common
newsgroup mirror. Since that is no longer centralized at MS, now all news
services will necessarily show the same set of postings.
