From: Nicholas Geti on 17 Mar 2010 10:40 I am no longer getting the hierarchical tree structure of messages on this forum. They are all listed one after another in date order. Can anyone suggest how to get it back?

The properties of your post seem to indicate that you're using Outlook Express. Going on that info I'd suggest you click on the View menu at the top of the OE window. Under Current View make sure Group Messages By Conversation has a check mark next to it. If it doesn't click on it and that should restore the check mark. Good luck Nepatsfan

The header of his message you replied to makes it clear. It says X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.5843 -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup

It says > X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.5843 Yes, if the OP is asking for help with use of the same newsreader with which he posted. Sometimes users have to use a different host to post their troubles so you can't rely on with what they want help unless they actually tell you. It's a guess, probably a good one, but not guaranteed.

It's a guess, probably a good one, but not guaranteed. Well, I'll grant you that there's a possibility that you're right and I'm wrong. Still, I think the chances that I'm wrong are exceedingly slim. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
