Finding Posted Message

[John R]

I post a new message and later search to see the date and
time of posting. Go to that date and time but my posting
is not there. What am I doing wrong?

Try searching by your display name. I see a few that appear to be from you
(hard to tell with the anonymous e-mail and no signature)

Posted 'as is'. If there are any spelling and/or grammar mistakes, they
were a direct result of my fingers and brain not being synchronized or my
lack of caffeine.

You are using the Microsoft web interface for newsgroup. This is
extremely "un-user friendly". Switch to using Microsoft Outlook Express,
or other news software, to have an easier time.

see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];newswhelp

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

The time you post will be different from the time it is actually stamped by
the server. Depending on your location and connection, it can take a few
minutes to hours for the post to reach the server. Do as your other reply
suggests, search by author or subject.
