I downloaded some updates from MS and have been having problems posting and read some posts. Some posts aren't available any more on server and some older ones are, go figure. I have sent some posts and they aren't showing up. M-C the one about the website update that I sent I couldn't read mine or your response. Hilda

Hi Hilda,
Can you see me now? I did see your answer to my request to post your sprofile and I responded that I would be happy to do so.
One of the things I do (I use outlook to post) is have a second free server set up. I can't send a post from it, but I can read and create the answer. When I click send it tells me it can't send it, but it is there in the outbox. So I open it again, copy the group name, change the server to my regular one (when you change the server name you lose the group name) and copy in the rec.crafts.scrapbook back into the group name and send. In that way I often catch posts that I wouldn't otherwise. Of course I only keep track of certain threads in the second server dp-news.maxwell.syr.edu.
Hi Hilda,
I saw several of your posts last night. Sometimes that happens to me to that the posts will be there, but I can't see them until someone response to them. I don't know why that happens.
Go to tools/accounts/add/news/ and just answer the set up questions.
