    To see new posts you have to refresh or get new headers. The exact

    method and term varies from application to application.

     

    Also remember that posts to newsgroups are very different than a web

    page that has a static location where everybody goes to the same URL

    to read the content. In newsgroups there is a network of news servers

    that peer with each other with them constantly exchanging copies of

    posts the others don't have. So if you get some email that somebody

    responded and you don't see it in the newsgroup yet and you've got new

    headers, could just be it hasn't arrived on YOUR news server yet. How

    long that process takes depends on your news server, who it peers with

    the source of the reply and general network conditions. The time a new

    post shows up on some other news server can vary from a few seconds to

    hours, and in extreme cases even show up days later and rarely not at

    all for a host of reasons.

     

    Most application allow you to sort how headers appear. You can use

    threaded view where all posts in a single thread automatically get

    linked to each other (easy to find replies this way) to sorting by

    date, author, etc..

    You are posting via the awful WEB (CDO) interface and most of the time it will create this issue. Set up your newsreader for newsgroups. Are you using Vista or XP ?

     

    Your questions have been answered and if you do not find them with searching for your name then set up Windows Mail or Outlook Express depending if you have Vista or XP to be your newsreader.

    Are you using Vista? If so, try using Windows Mail to access the Vista NG's.

    In Windows Mail one can select "View | Current View | Show replies to my

    messages" and, voila! there are the replies to your msgs.

    It was a reply to Lang Murphy. Ctrl + H is a quicker way to see your

    threads in OE/WM than using the menu.
