Community Page

I really hate the way the community page is set up. It would be so much
better if the area where the posts are listed was bigger. The page just
doesn't look good. Most forums on the net use the whole page for postings
then when people click on the post they're interested in it opens in another
window.

This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the

Use Windows Mail (or Outlook Express), set up for Newsgroups. Same
thing, but a much better format.

News Server (if using OE): msnews.microsoft.com

If you have Vista already, look at Windows Mail, it's already set up,
you just have to pick which ones to subscribe to.

Thanks Dustin, I like that suggestion. I looked at it in Vista Windows Mail
right after I read your posting. Now, my problem is deciding which one to
subscribe to. If you have a suggestion I'll be happy to see it.
Thanks for your interest.

Right click on the main newsgroup folder in the left window. Click on
newsgroups. Type Vista in the top line. Choose the groups you want to
subscribe to. I would suggest all that are in English if you are looking for
an education. Browse through them all and ask your questions or look for
answers.
