Can't Post Using IE

I am able to post in this and other MS newsgroups but only when using the
Firefox browser. When I use IE and click on new question it just reloads the
current page and not the new question page. I shut off pop-up blocker, tried
holding down the CTRL key, but cannot seem to make it work. Thanks for the
ideas.

perhaps, using outlook
express via the link above
will make your posting
experience a bit more
enjoyable.

I am hesitant to click on your like because of the way it looks. I cannot
afford to welcome a problem into my already cranky system.

Thanks PA Bear. You have been a real help to me recently. I am somewhat
amused that there isn't and IE solution and that Firefox works fine. I still
feel like we are on the frontier sometimes.

Try using a proper newgroup program instead of the www hack.

I'm not sure you got someones suggestion. You are trying to use a web
browser and you should be using a news reader program. Like outlook
express, thunderbird, and a slew of others. IE 6 or 7 or Firefox
were not written for newsgroups. You can but shouldn't?

Don't use ANY web browser to access newsgroups - use a newsreader (such as
Outlook Express).

Symptom gone.
