I hear that microsoft is building a new one but i don't
know how to get to it. anyone know?

If you are using the web based newsreader and if you are set up to log on
automatically it will not work. You need to sign in each time you use the
web based newsreader. I have tried sending a comment pointing that out, but
there is no way of knowing if anybody even read it.

There are apparently a lot of problems lately with Microsoft's web
based newsreader.

If you don't have something blocking you (such as a corporate
firewall), try using the News option of Outlook Express (installed
automatically with Internet Explorer). Use msnews.microsoft.com as the
news server in setup; you'll get text access to all Microsoft's
newsgroups without some of the web bells and whistles, but IME it's
more reliable.
