Ensure that you do follow through quickly with responder(s) who respond in your thread. -- Max Singapore --- "Jon in the U&L" wrote: > So I added another post to a prior thread that I started in February.

That depends on the newsreader and the user. You are using the MS Discussions Groups web interface. To my knowledge, threads are always sorted by the first posting. So there is no way to see most recent postings to old threads. Many people use the Google Groups web interface. They have the option to order threads by the first posting or by the latest postings. So GG users might see postings to old threads easily. Many other people access the MSnews server directly using Outlook Express (Windows Mail in 2007 and later). They, too, have the option of seeing the latest postings first. But if they choose not to, old threads with new postings are highlighted. So OE users may or may not spot new postings to old threads. There are other newsreaders and other platforms (e.g. Linux). Each works differently. ----- original message ----- "Jon in the U&L" <JonintheUL(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5B108947-9690-4053-867D-5A89D4B06F6A(a)microsoft.com... > So I added another post to a prior thread that I started in February.
