I use OE5 for newsgroups with my ISP. I find that my initial posting and subsequent replies to it take a long time to show up on my computer. If I do a Google search of my posting/replies they are obviously being received by the group faster than I get them. My ISP says this is a 'known problem' with OE5. In fact they said I probably wouldn't see my own postings, but in fact they do show up just after some days. What is your experience with this 'problem' and what is the solution, if any. Thanks. BTW, postings to these newsgroups (MS) show up very quickly.

Thanks. I wondered if there was no problem at all. The standard tech rep answer is 'upgrade'.

It's quite common for Tech's to try and blame something else, rather than acknowledge there is a problem at their end! Kath english wrote: > Thanks. I wondered if there was no problem at all.

I had the same problem with IO4 and got the same 'fix' from the ISP at that time. It didn't make sense to me that MS newsgroup would 'work' but the others wouldn't, at least their explanation didn't make much sense and still doesn't. Now there may be something in what they say but upgrading could be like getting a vaccination for measles when you have a flu. I'm always slow to upgrade (obviously since I'm still using IE5.5 and OE5.5) when my present system works well. I never know what problems I'll encounter as I go up the food chain. Thanks for your help...english P.S. I sent your reply to my question to the tech team leader but he hasn't written back yet. I don't think he will...but he should acknowledge that he might not know everything. Take care.
