Thank you. I am now using the msnews.microsoft.com. It's the same as
the ones on Microsoft Communities which is provided by Windows, and as
stated before, I don't like it. I felt confined, and worst of all, I
don't get notified if I have replies on my threads. Who wants to scroll
to my threads ,which will be all over, and find out if I have replies or
not ??
