Can't see Newsgroup messages in WLM

I have recently configured Newsgroups in WLM. I have posted a response
through WLM. I can see this post if I surf directly to the Microsoft
Communities page but despite synchronising newsgroups in WLM this message is
not shown in the WLM window.

Can anyone assist please as to what I might be doing wrong, or if there is
some setting I should be adjusting ?

With thanks.

You shouldn't have to adjust anything, but I bet that if you disable
'Use newsgroup Communities support features' at [Tools >] Options >
General, this problem will go away.

Re: Can't see Newsgroup messages in WLM

Surprisingly, Microsoft has been trying to fix that bug for many months
already, but they don't seem to be making any headway. ;-)

Re: Can't see Newsgroup messages in WLM

Ildhund

Sorry, my last post was to the thread !

Here's what I said:

"Well, I thought it worked...............

However, my last post doesn't show up in WLM but is there on the server.
Neither do I see the later post from Gary VanderMolen

As things are it's not possible to "trust" newsgroups in WLM as you don't
know if there are posts, or not. Any other thoughts gratefully received"

The point remains, some posts either sent by me, or in response to my
question aren't showing up in WLM.

Re: Can't see Newsgroup messages in WLM


You can try increasing your time out settings in your account setting for
newsgroups, could help.
If it shows up on the web interface and not your client most likely it will
at some point in time.
However you mention no error messages.
Check your inbox. Check your sent folder, but I don't think it will be in
your inbox if you see it on the web interface.
If you have had your editor for replying to messages open for a long time
while composing and doing other task perhaps your missing the server time
out message. NOTE: the server time out message is not an error message.
Editing new messages or editing replies is not activity on the server side.
If the reply is in your sent mail or even in the outbox but shows up when
you access trough using your browser, give it a good while to show up in
your client.
If it does not show up after you wait a reasonable amount of time, close and
restart your client, receive new message and if it still does not show up
resend it.
Note: If when composing messages for an extended amount of time save the
massages to your draft folder close your email newsgroup client
reopen your client and then send your messages.

Re: Can't see Newsgroup messages in WLM

I usually leave it quite a long time (hours) after sending a post from WLM
before realising it isn't showing up in WLM Newsgroups.

I've made the time out setting change you suggest and also that from Gary
VanderMolen in my other thread, and it does now SEEM to work. I'll have to
see how it goes.

Thanks for your reply.
