My guess is that the biggest problem is that you use the Microsoft website
for the newsgroups. YUCK! -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "kendalyne" wrote in message ...

So what is the best way to follow this and other Microsoft forums? I have
been using Outlook Express--and I have never gotten any e-mails announcing that somebody has answered any questions I posted. "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote in message ...

If you are using Outlook Express to ask your questions, you will not get an
email announcing that someone has responded. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Joe McGuire" wrote in message ...

In Outlook Express, you can set the view to highlight "replies to my posts,"
but only the Web UI can send you a notice when there has been a reply; that is really necessary in the Web UI because otherwise it's very difficult to even find your own post again, to see whether anyone has replied. NNTP access (using a newsreader such as OE) is much more efficient for people who read NGs regularly; for people who want to drop in occasionally, post a question, and then come back to read the replies, the HTTP (Web) Communities interface is more convenient (even if less efficient). I would recommend NNTP, however, for anyone who wants to become educated about Word by reading questions and answers; if more people did this, we'd have fewer repeat questions (which are becoming increasingly common as users fail to search for answers before posting). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA Word MVP FAQ site: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

I had no idea I could change the view. What a difference! Thanks! Finding
a reply without that little feature isn't so easy--I can sort the messages by name but that works only if my message started the thread. Since I regularly read this BB I guess I was at least doing something mostly right. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

"...we'd have fewer repeat questions (which are becoming increasingly
common as users fail to search for answers before posting) Seems searching rarely gets me a good answer, but the fault is probably my own--if I later get the answer I then realize that I was usuing the wrong words in searching. Some forums have a collection of FAQs. A collection of, say, the top 25-50 could save a lot of repetition. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Part of the original design of the Web (MS Communities) forums was that
messages that had been tagged as the answer to a question (or marked as "Helpful" by many users) would be retained on the server longer and possibly moved toward the top, but I'm not convinced this is being done. There is no sure-fire mechanism for posting FAQs to NNTP; Charles Kenyon used to post a FAQ periodically, but he hasn't been around lately. Google Groups search is usually more efficient than searching in OE or the Communities, and you can find FAQs collected at http://word.mvps.org, which has its own search engine. This site was created by the Word MVPs to save us from posting the same answer repeatedly; having those answers (amplified and clarified) at our Web site allows us to post links instead of boilerplate or fresh copy. -- Suzanne S.

Susanne-
Part of the original design of the Web (MS Communities) forums was that messages that had been tagged as the answer to a question (or marked as "Helpful" by many users) would be retained on the server longer and possibly moved toward the top, but I'm not convinced this is being done. I am sure you are right - but maybe for partly the wrong reason. It appears from reading this thread in the Web (MS Communities) that it was answered. However, the person who got their answer did not check mark the box to indicate an answer was given. Maybe you MVP's can remind the questioner to check mark that box. & remind everyone to rate the posts as helpful. (or not) Out of the 11 posts to this thread, it appears as if not helpful to anyone & no answer was given. As is the same for alot of the threads. I too, probably asked a question or 2 that was previously answered but I had changed my view to show: "Answered questions" Also - Web UI can send you a notice when there has been a reply; I always checkmarke "Notify me of replies" but have yet to recieve a notification. But have gotten replies. The best way that I have been able to figure out to check for replies (let alone find as you menteioned previously) is: Next to the Sign in/out icon, there is a "edit my profile" incon. Profile will show at very bottom, all threads that I posted or wanted to be notified about. How do I recieve a notification? |

Note that you can search for a message (and its replies) at

Searching for phone numbers and people can be a great way to get information about a person http://persontrust.com They can be especially helpful if you are trying to locate a long-lost friend or family member. However, keep in mind that these services can be expensive and do not always provide accurate information. Therefore, you should always exercise caution when using such services and verify any information you find.
