Gord,

And here i am back using the web interface, it decided to work.

Why is a green checkmark important?

Frequently an OP will not post a reply if the question is answered to their
satisfaction they will simply acknowledge with a tick. In any case despite
it's failings and when it's working I like the web interface
Very frequently they do not post a reply but if the response was
useful/helpful then they are satisfied and no further action need be taken.


Another reason is when at work my Co have no difficulty with me using the
web interface but I'm simply not allowed to load forte agent or use Outlook
express for this purpose.
Good point about not being authorized to use other readers.


lastly and equally as important Microsoft own this thing so they should fix
it, have the plain good manners to explain why it isn't fixed or remove it
from the web.
I like that point...........make it work or dump it.

Thanks for your input.

If OP is not helped OP will generally post back saying so.

If OP is helped OP sometimes will post back a Thank You.

Countless others never do post back with yay or nay but you have done your
part by responding.

Shane,

I don't know but if we find out I suggest a campaign of mail bombing to
attempt to gain the attention of whoever is responsible for the shambolic
and ongoing abysmal performance of Microsoft in the (vain) hope something
may be done.

This will probably now illicit suggestion from people that I use this, that
or the other method of accessing the forums and in anticipation of that my
answer is "I don't want to use anything else, I want to used the web based
system" and will continue to do so until any alternative system allows me to
see 'at a glance' whether a question has been answered to the satisfaction
of the OP by the presence of green checkmark.
