Yes...I have posting tried posting again later.

I haven't posted here for a while, and this wasn't the case before.

If HTTP is no longer supported, why is this interface available on
Google Groups?

Thanks.

It's not that it isn't supported; it's that Google is like an interloper,
placing itself between you and the newsgroups, and then relaying what you
say and responses to what you say, back and forth to/from you, like some
third party in a relay. It's a lot less than optimum and as a result leaves
an awful lot to be desired. Google has its uses, but communicating well on
newsgroups isn't one of them it can excel with. If you wish to use usenet
groups like this with any seriousness and reliability, you really need to
get yourself a newsreader or even plain old outlook Express, which you
already have. Then you would get an accurate and up to date display of
exactly what's on the newsgroup without the gossiper in between you and your
target.

If you just "gotta have" that web interface, then look for forums on the
subjects you want instead of usenet posts. They are intended for browser
accesses and do a much better job. Usenet groups are intended for
newsreaders.
