Hi Steve,

Thanks for your feedback.

I will forward your comments for our Newsgroup to the proper team. I
believe they will consider these information for future Newgroup design.

Have a nice day!

      Newsgroups: microsoft.public.windows.server.migration
      
      Thanks for your reply.
      
      I posted another message if you could look at it. I did not see that
anyone
      had responed to my first (even though you had, because I had problems
with
      the web interface of this news group and didnt notice it.) however
and I have
      since found out some more info. and posted a new question.
      
      By the way ...
      If there is anyone listening regarding this web newsgroup interface
set up
      I have a few comments.
      1. When I try to widen the bars on the web interface so I can see all
the
      subject or data on the subject line/or text the whole thing
disappears...
      that is when you drag a column any amount to the left or right it
makes the
      screen with the news group disappear and you are left with a blank
screen
      accpet for the headers of web interface and the Ms Corp Copyright
line ,
      terms of use | Tradmarks | Privacy Statement.
      
      When I refresh the screen it all returns.
      
      2. I did some reading on the news group and it says that you can
access it
      via NNTP however I have tried looking at my news groups but I cannot
see how
      to do this. While I can find many MS news lists such as
      microsoft.public.win2000 using my NNTP address, there is none called
      microsoft.public.windows.server.migration There seems to be no new
NNTP
      address that we can use provided in the MS FAQ that says this is
another way
      to access the group. I wanted to do it this way because I know how
to use it
      in my news reader rather than this web interface that I cant adjust
the
      screen on.
      
      3. An awfull lot of space is taken up by the Icon on the left of my
screen,
      "add Windows Server Community to your favorites". About 1/5th of the
screen
      is taken up by this Icon. This is one of the reasons the subject
lines are
      being squashed and I want to make the columns wider.
      
      4. When I send a message to the news group and at the bottom it asks
me to
      put in my user name, I do this but then when I do this it says,
something
      like do you want to send it under this name since its not the name
you
      registered under. ... Well I think it is the name I registered under
??
      Anyway when I say cancel or click X. It sends it anyway rather than
giving me
      the option of putting a differnet name in the box ??
      
      I recognize that you are not the one to report this to. I'm only
putting it
      here in the hopes that those responsible for the web interface will
see these
      issues and investigate. By the way Im using IE 6....1106 on win
2000. ~Thanks
      
      Now back to the issue at hand. I have Put a new question to the group
      entitled Dual Boot win 2000 win2003. I would apreciate any comments.
