I'm looking for a regular google help forum. I can't find one but I
have a simple question.

When I read the regular google groups I want the last topic replied to
to appear at the top of my screen. I can't find the configuration
button in order to make that happen. Does anyone know where it is? I
was doing ok on my old computer which had Windows 98 installed but this

new one has Windows XP and for the life of me I can't find the switch
to put the newly-replied topics to the top of my screen.

Thanks for your help, Scott.

Googlegroups has help groups
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Groups-Guide and a big help
section http://groups.google.com/support?hl=en

But for usenet groups which aren't 'google(only)groups' you would be
better off using a newsreader instead of googlegroups' browser
interface.

On the left you have a my groups, my profile, and my topics links.
Newsgroup interacting in google's interface is not very configurable.

If your connectivity provider doesn't provide you with a newsserver
included in the cost of your internet access, there are free ones and
cheap ones and commercial ones. There are plenty of ways to access a
real nntp newsserver instead of using google.

You need a nntp newsserver and an nntp newsagent such as Outlook Express
or Thunderbird to do that. What is your mail agent?

Hi Mike, yes I'm familiar with the NNTP and they're a lot better than
Google for most things. It's just that on my other set I was able to
easliy find the change I want as pertaiing to Google. For some reason I
can't find it on my new set. I'll keep looking.

That particular 'google-only' ng propagates to several of the nntp
newsservers I use.

So spend a few bucks and go with a full service that has a web interface.
Newsguy has one that is fully configurable. Rather cheap too. $40 for a
year?

I'm sure I can do well with newsguy. The thing is I want to find out
why for now I can't configure this gogg thing to my liking. I must be
overlooking something.
