I'm doing fine with forums using the newsreader. Thanks. Nancy "Ken Blake, MVP" wrote in message news:42gb66haf6mb9gccl3rjhr09q3i2n5f6hj(a)4ax.com... Many of us have gone to the forums. But some of us are also still here (at least for a while longer). By the way, note that you *can* participate in the web-based forums using your newsreader. Microsoft has what they call an nntp Bridge available to do this, but even better is the "Community Forums NNTP bridge," which you get for free here: http://communitybridge.codeplex.com/ Using the bridge isn't perfect, but I use it since I find it much better than participating directly via a web browser. > Do I need to go to the forums to follow them. > John -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup

Try it and see for yourself. It's free and you don't have to make any real commitment to it. As with many things, I recommend trying the alternatives (especially when they are all free, as they are here) and deciding for yourself which you like better. I'm not trying to talk you into anything, just inviting you to try both choices. > I'm doing fine with forums using the newsreader. > "Ken Blake, MVP" wrote in message > news:42gb66haf6mb9gccl3rjhr09q3i2n5f6hj(a)4ax.com... > > Many of us have gone to the forums.
