From: Bob I on 14 Jun 2010 15:39 You are posting to the XP general newsgroup, that is where you posted your question and that is where I answered it. If you want to ask about Office, post where I indicated, and view others questions there. Robert Lee wrote: > But who is seeing my question?

From: Robert Lee on 15 Jun 2010 08:20 I signed in and submitted a question. But there was only a box for submitting a question. There was no way of seeing other peoples' posts or answers to my post. Would you mind going to the website and seeing if I am correct. "Bob I" wrote: > You are posting to the XP general newsgroup, that is where you posted > your question and that is where I answered it.

I've already been there. They aren't forums. They are/were merely web based interfaces to the newsgroups, and those newsgroups no longer exist on the ms newsserver. Since the group is gone, your submitted question went in the bit bucket. Use the link I provided, if you want to post questions to the forums.
