Ok guys  I really dont know what all this means, as a new computer user!! • let
alone new Lugnetter, newsgroup reader etc etc....I was hoping you could • help

I am running windows NT on a pentium 111, have got netscape communicator, • and
Internet explorer, but am only using explorer, I don't even know what a
newsreader is!

Rachel,

A couple of questions:


1.  What happens when you click this?--

      news://lugnet.com/lugnet.general

   (Or, if that's not clickable, what happens when you open that URL in
   your web browser using the Open Location command?)


2.  If you go here in your web browser,

      http://www.lugnet.com/duplo/

   what happens when you click the icon along the top that says "NNTP"
   beneath it?

Oh! So now I can post from here as well? Prior to this, I was having to go to
the original page I posted from when I first came here, to post, or if I read
an email I wanted to reply to, I had to go to that post on lugnet and click
reply, now I can just go to the top of my page and click reply or new
message!!! Even cooler!!! (makes me realise, how labour intensive it all was
before)


Here I go again, another question, do I now go in and unsubscribe from the
mailing list, or else I guess I will get the messages as emails as well as
through the newsreader????
