Vista - Windows Mail Live posts don't get recorded in the newsgroup

Hi folks,

I have been postion to all Excel newsgroups via the Web interface. When
posts are made this way they are recorded in the user profile. I have run
some test recently using Windows Mail Live - posts made to the newsgroup
appear on the thread but are not counted in the user profile.

Questions -
1. is there a way to correct this problem?
2. The web interface is often very slow to load, it is unavailable many
times when the newsgroups can be accessed via Mail Live? Is there anything
we can do about this?
3. On the web interface I see three panes the first different languages,
then groups, the subgroups, the middle one the threads, the right one the
content of the selected message. Often the left side of the first pane is
out of view, even with the scrollbar to the far left. Without going to a
micro font, is there any way to correct this problem?

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire

[Tools >] Options General tab. This is supposed to do what you ask
if you're signed in to WLMail with the Live ID you use when posting
on the web. It's not fault free.
I don't know of anything.
Not that I know of. It's been like that for years, using IE7 at any
rate.
Stick to posting via WLMail - it's much more efficient.

Supposedly they are working on it.
The way to avoid it is to stop signing in and just post normally.


Use Google Groups instead?


Just use your pointer and see the full newsgroup name
as a tooltip? Alternatively, you could drag the divider
and make that pane wider. For that matter make both
the newsgroup list and the message list panes wider
then just read the threads in new tabs by doubleclicking
in the message list.


Good luck

Bingo!

I've decided the silly "SIGNING IN" routine is a bad thing to do, for a
variety of reasons -- speed among them.

Hi,

I've tested and that didn't solve the problem. But I will test the ideas
from other responders, thanks anyway.

It seems that I am automatically signed it, so how do you turn that off in
Windows Live Mail, or "Just post normally?"

Thanks,

"Signing In" has its benefits, such as ensuring that your contacts
are synced and backed up to a Live web account.
I don't notice any delay, but I have a fast Internet connection.

Don't confuse the signing in to a Live ID with the option to use the
Communities features.

I can't get contacts to "stick" after importing them from WAB.

Is there a trick to that?
