Hi again Vince.

I managed to get to the point where I typed in Searching for Newsgroups. I then pressed enter and nothing happened. I didn't get a box like you suggested in which to type 2alt or anything. I must say, that I thought that the old method was much more user friendly. I'm not really sure if going to all this trouble is worthwhile as I'm only wanting to subscribe to a SKY TV newsgroup to find out more about SKY Plus and otherservices.

Best wishes.
Andy

Hi, Andy,

Ah, I'm with you. If you're using Outlook Express, go to the Help and in the Index type "Searching for newsgroups". The instructions are there. I have an idea this was a bit easier to find in previous versions of O.E..

From what I've found in the past, it's worth trying and subject, putting 2alt." before it and seeing if it exists - quite often it will.

Hope that helps.

Vince.

Hi Vince.

I've not attempted to subscribe to any newsgroups for some years, and perhaps not since OE 5. However, when I used to have the folder titled Newsgroups, I'd click on this and be presented with a box to type in a subject like "computing", "blind computing" or disability blind computing", and this would result with a list of possible newsgroups for me to subscribe to. If I no longer have the link, so to speak, how can I get a list of group subjects?

Best wishes.

I'm sure you haven't done anything wrong, Andy. I don't have a Newsgroups folder either, though I suppose I could create one. The newsgroups are simply listed at the bottom of the folder list. Could be better to make a folder if you belong to a lot of them.

Vince.

Hi all.

I was just about to search for a particular Newsgroup and arrowed town the folders in Outlook Express, expecting the bottom folder to be titled Newsgroups. However, this folder is not shown. I've had a quick look through my options, thinking that I may have un-checked a tick-box, but cannot find any reference to having this folder shown. Any one any idea how to fix this please?

Best wishes.

Andy
