Hello,

Since reformatting my hard drive, I've noticed a difference or two.

The first is that I can't reply to answers provided to questions that I
posted here. The second is that, prior to reformatting, if I flagged my
post, the NG's title would become bold red when anyone replied to my
question. The latter no longer occurs.

If it's relevant I'm using XP SP1 and OE6 SP1.

Any assistance is always appreciated. Thanks!

Martin

Of course it's relevant. Get that ol' SP2 in place though...

YOU set up OE to highlight the posts. It's not a default. It's probably
something in View or Tools/Message Rules.

As for as not replying to posts, I've never ran into that before. Have you
considered using a different newsreader?

As good a time as any to give it a try.

Yeah - just because I've never switched, doesn't mean I don't see the
inherent problems with OE, and the advantages of other software ;o)

Did you set up your email properly? Can you send regular mail? Test by
sending yourself an email. If you can't send, then you didn't set up
the smtp server details correctly. Check the information on your ISP's
website (assuming you are using your ISP for mail servers). You have to
have some sort of smtp settings to send email and to post to ng's.

As for the flagging, I bow to the Toolman's expertise because I haven't
used OE in years and never for a newsreader.

You should change your sig to "That'll be 113.964 NOK".

i had the same problem and was told to download sp2 which fixed the not able
to reply problem

What newsreader are you using to read/post?

What error, if any, are you receiving when trying to reply post?

JEEZE! If you right-click on the message, choose Properties and then Details
IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT FRIGGIN NEWSREADER THE OP IS USING!

And you say you're an "MCSE". Jeeeze, I'm glad I didn't do that if you are
representative of that lot.
