Perhaps something changed with an "add-on". Try starting IE (which version?)
without add-ons. Or, maybe, the site doesn't like IE 6, and you have not
moved beyond.
I prefer Leonard's approach, however; use a proper NNTP client. The
HTTP-to-NNTP thingy run by Microsoft is problematic under the best
circumstances. These groups are not "web forums" (HTTP is the web protocol),
they are "news groups" (NNTP is the news protocol).
