Sorry to "hijack" this thread, but I cannot start a new thread. I've tried in
several groups and get the same thing. When I click on New Question or New
General Comment, nothing happens.

I can reply to posts and I can be notified of replies.

Any idea what might be happening?

Thanks

It's best to read this newsgroup (and all newsgroups) as they were intended
to be read: with a newsreader.

Outlook Express is your newsreader if you're using Windows XP.

Windows Live Mail is your newsreader in Windows Vista and 7

There are also third-party newsreaders that you may prefer.

I was having that problem and realized that pop-ups were being blocked for
this site. Once I allowed them for this page, I could then create a new
question/comment.

Hope that helps!

Nice try, but I use Windows Live - as it was intended. I have not used OE in
years and refuse to use it for any reason - even if its for this site.

Thankfully, a post by pbkry2r was able to remedy the "problem".

Bingo!

I had previously allowed pop-ups at a higher level site, but not the one
needed for the various groups. I simply allowed pop-ups for this site and it
worked. Sometimes the simple things can be overlooked.

Thank you.

Windows Live has a newsreader function almost identical to OE. Just click
the second link that Daddy posted in how to set it up to access
news.microsoft.com.
