From: Tina Clarke on 24 May 2010 14:32 Joe Rohn has a great forum http://www.timeforweb.com/frontpage/forum/ I have always spread myself around lists and forums but I like the newsgroup as its much like a list I have one for frontpage and one for expression web. The Answers forum I belive will contain works photodraw and frontpage? Still there is a bright side..... if you can't find the answer to your problem it will encourage a learning process...which will result in better websites. There is always an outlet for everything ... just like some hosts still support fpse.

There's a very self-important yahoo who has taken it to be his business to issue 'rmgroup' requests on behalf of Microsoft. Now it's true that most big usenet providers ignore most such requests because they're not considered authoritative, and they're so easily abused. But, sadly, this creep has somehow convinced most of them that he is authoritative for this hierarchy, and history supports him in that regard. Microsoft is planning on phasing out newsgroups - news.admin.hierarchies http://groups.google.com/group/news.admin.hierarchies/browse_thread/thread/67439c68236e7e35 and... http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.msnewservers/browse_frm/thread/3b8d33430c3071f0/01767bbaedeb096d#01767bbaedeb096d -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org Customer Hatred Knows No Bounds at MSFT ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org

It's confusing the heck outta me, so far it looks like there's 3 separate forum systems?
