Need help finding this group on PC

go to

there is a link at the top for "groups" do a search for rec.crafts.scrapbooks and it should come up and if you are a gmail member or signed up for google then you "add" the newsgroup to your groups.

There is a direct link to the google version of our group on www.r-c-sinfo on the main page. There are also explanations on how to be able to access this group from anywhere at all using outlook express and individual.net.

HTH, M-C

Well, I've been on my pc for well over a yr now and still haven't been able to figure out how to access through outlook. I just read through google. Maybe I'd be more active here if there was an easier way to read the mssgs, maybe. ;-}

Cathy, when I was on webtv I would sometimes read rcs at google whenever the webbie seemed to be missing mssgs.

i read mine thru outlook and I personally find it easier for me to read them on there. When i finish and leave the group to go to regular mail it marks them all read so when i come back the new messages are in bold black and get my attention to read them. I go to google if I need to dbl check or outlook is not working. Or if I need to be a SUPER SNEAKY SECRET SANTA.....LOL

While you are in Outlook Express click on tools then Newsgroups. If your server has a list available check to see if "rec.crafts.scrapbooks" is on the list. Highlight it if it's there and click on subscribe. That's how I read the newsgroup. It shows up in the Local Folders with my Inbox and I just click on it to read the messages.

Mine's the same way. I don't know if I could handle reading through Google all of the time. I only go there when I need to hunt for something I remember someone posting in the past or when I can tell I've missed some posts for some reason or the other. Or as SS's helper to see who has been a member and for how long. Sandy

I have Outlook Express and I went through the help menu on Outlook Express and my Internet Provider's website. They both told me exactly how to set up newsgroups. They gave me the settings that I just had to copy and paste. Keeping trying and asking questions Katrina I think the combined group here can get you up and reading newsgroups.

The only difference with using individual.net is that for something like $14 US you can access it anywhere you go. Often if you travel and only have your own ISP, you can not access this group via outlook express on the road.
