There needs to be a show my posts button or something because I can never
find my post. Something that will take you to your posts. That would be extremely helpful ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

That is an extremely useful function of the Outlook Express newsreader,
which, sadly, won't work for very much longer since MS is moving to a web forum-based system and away from NNTP ;-( "danklebs" wrote in message ...

It's a good suggestion, but I get around the issue by putting my user name in
the search box. It brings up a list of everything I originally posted and also my replies, but it narrows the search quite a bit and is quite helpful.

Also the spam here is so annoying. Second almost all of the regular contributors [MVP] and others can be found else where in other forums. |

That would be extremely helpful At least while the newsgroups still live, that can be done at http://groups.google.com. Use Advanced Search. There's nothing MS can do to kill the instances of the microsoft.public.* newsgroups hosted on other news servers, so I'm pretty sure things will continue. I, for one, think it would be better if there were a single newsgroup for Access questions, as the breakdown by topic in the ms.public hierarchy just makes it hard to figure out where to look for answers. If everybody moved to comp.databases.ms-access, that would not be a disaster, in my opinion. -- David W. Fenton http://www.dfenton.com/ usenet at dfenton dot com http://www.dfenton.com/DFA/ |

The newsgroups will continue to exist on other news servers. It's only msnews.microsoft.com that is being shut down. That means that posts on the MS discussion website that were previously propagated to other news servers will no longer propagate outside MS, but, well, most of the good people in the Access newsgroups aren't posting through MS's news server or the crappy forum website. -- David W.

I don't think that's true, unless you count the "forums" that are just slurping posts from the newsgroups. I will grant, though, that there are a number of regulars who also post regularly on Utter Access; even some who mostly post there and only drop in on the newsgroups occasionally. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP Access tips: www.datagnostics.com/tips.html (please reply to the newsgroup) |

36.100... Not true. The newsgroups will continue to exist on other news servers. It's only msnews.microsoft.com that is being shut down. You make a good point. I remember years ago when Microsoft dropped microsoft.public.access entirely, in favor of its subgroups, but the group wouldn't die and eventually they took it back under their wing. That means that posts on the MS discussion website that were previously propagated to other news servers will no longer propagate outside MS, but, well, most of the good people in the Access newsgroups aren't posting through MS's news server or the crappy forum website. I'm not sure of this, though of course it depends on who you consider "good people". I know I switched years ago from my ISP's news server (back when they had one) to msnews.microsoft.com, because my ISP only carried some of the posts. And now lots of ISP's have dropped their own news servers, so many people have to post either to Microsoft's server or else pay for use of a commercial news server. My (unverified) impression from the MVPs I know is that those who post heavily in the newsgroups are using msnews. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP Access tips: www.datagnostics.com/tips.html (please reply to the newsgroup) |
