If you are having difficulty in reading or finding responses to your post,
instead of the website you are using, I would suggest to use OEx (Outlook
Express or any other newsreader of your choosing), and configure a newsgroup
account, pointing to news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link into the
Microsoft Public Newsgroups, and it is FREE and DOES NOT require a Usenet
account with your ISP. With OEx , you can easily find your post and watch &
track threads, sort by date, poster's name, watched threads or subject.

Not sure how? It's easy and you'll enjoy it
