do I have to re-register If----

Hello ,
If I were to "ditch" this computer and buy a new one, do I have to
re-register with new names, password and such, or can I retain my old
settings ?

Pardon me. I meant re-register to this forum.

It has nothing to do with this "forum", which is actually a newsgroup,
it has to do with whatever system you're using to get here. Your
"Newsreader" header says "vBulletin USENET gateway", whatever that is.
There is no registration needed for this newsgroup, no
account/password - at least if you access it on the MS server,
msnews.microsoft.com. I have no clue what vBulletin's requirements
are.

This "forum" you are using is nothing more than a web-based interface
that sucks up postings from the Microsoft newsgroups, repackages them,
and presents them to you as if they were doing you a service. It's a
very poor way to access the newsgroups, not to mention that you are
supporting what many of us consider to be a dishonest way of
presenting themselves.

Most of us here use the newsgroups directly, with our newsreader,
where no registration is required. I strongly recommend that you, and
anyone else using one of those forums, do the same. See
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/ou...snewreader.htm It's
about Outlook Express, but it's almost identical in Windows Mail,
which comes with Vista.

Hello Tim,
Like the other MVP said to me that I have a lot to learn about
internet. That is absolutely true. What I did was type in vista .com or
something like that in google search box, and eventually I was lead to
this. I was told to register as member if I wanted to post questions and
answers. So I did, giving my username, password, and e-mail address.
That's why I asked if I had to repeat the same process again. Thank you.

Hello Ken,
I have Microsoft Communities activated in my Windows Mail. Are they the
same as what you described "Microsoft Newsgroups "? I realise that at
least most of my posts reappeared in one of those MS Comm., but I don't
use them because I don't like the setup, ie. those (+) and (-), and most
important of all I'd like to be notified if I had a reply to my post(s)
which is not available there. But if that's not the same as yours, then
I'll have to ask my ISP for the name of NNTP , whatever that is. Unless
you can shed some light to this matter.Thank you.

you do not have to register
