Hey guys, I am a frequent visitor to this site, browsing all categories. Did
anyone not see the offensive post on 05/24/05 which appears in every
category. Don't need to name, just take a look. How to you remove this
"vulgar display"?
 
Lizzie,

If you were using a real newsreader, like Outlook Express, you could
highlight the post header and hit Shift + Delete or just Delete. Since
you're using Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000, you are SOL.

You're a frequent visitor I would suggest checking out any of the
following links. Not using a newsreader is like using bearskins and stone
knives. ;-)

And which of the 100,000 (at least) posts posted that day are you referring
to? Giving us a date isn't going to narrow it down much, now is it...?
 
It is 9 posts down from this post. And it is posted in every discussion. It
is dated 05/24/2005. As I told you previously, I am a daily visitor to this
site, and think all of you guys are terrific. I am not trying to insult
anyone, but most forums post a message stating "report offensive post". I am
not trying to offend you guys. I appreciate your response.

9 down you say. Wes will be upset that you find his posts offensive. This is
my 9th message down (I sort by date) which you can view by clicking

Try this...

Set Open as default for (NONE) Folder in Folder Options.

My point here is that what you see is what you see and is not nessacery what
I see. I see your last post as 26/5/2005 9:59 PM because I live on top of
the world in Australia (your maps are upside down). Most of us here use
newsreaders you are viewing a web page copy of this newsgroup.

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize

will show you how we view it. But even then as we have heaps of display
options (sorting, deleting, and hiding posts) plus we may also not download
all messages ( I only keep the last 24 hrs of posts).

Please realize two things:

1. This is not a "site." This is a newsgroup. You may be
accessing this newsgroup via a web site, but most of us a
newsreader, which is a far better choice.

2. It may be nine posts down when you see it on your web site,
but it's not here. And it won't be on the newsreader screens of
many of us. That's for a variety of reasons; it depends on what
you sort on on, it depends on what messages you keep vs what you
hide or delete; it depends on the filters or killfiles you have
set, etc. As a general rule, referring to a message by its
relative position on *your* screen is useless and meaningless to
most people on any newsgroup.

So I, for example, have no idea what this "offensive post" you
refer to was.
