Two gotchas on these forums

1) If the screen just flashes when you click to start a new topic, it's
probably because of the IE popup blocker. Hold down the Ctrl key while
clicking. This doesn't apply when replying.

2) If you receive an error message when posting a comment, question, reply
etc., chances are that your post did make it, and will appear in a few
minutes. This happens to me quite often.

3) Use a newsreader to avoid 1) and 2) ;-)

I would actualy recommend using Google NewsGroups though.
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...ows.powershell

Not only it accessible everywhere, when posting new messages, no pop-up
windows is displayed.

Moreover, it's much easier to search through previous threads that one
might be interested in.

Yes, Google NewsGroups seems to be a pretty good alternative. Thanks.
