Current Topics/Discussions

Could it not be possible to have currently discussed and newly posted to
topics returned to the top of the list. It's not long before a topic gets
lost as new ones come up. I have noticed for a long time now that if someone
hasn't the opportunity to post to the topic on a regular basis a new post
tends to go unnoticed and the topic invariably becomes unresolved.

Could one of the MVPs mention it to the powers that be please?

Regards,

Kevin

I don't think that's something that can be done on the server side. You
might want to talk to your usenet client vendor.

Your newsreader programme might allow you to watch a thread - so you can see
when it gets new messages posted to it. Thats what we do so we know which
threads our posts have had responses into.

Re: Current Topics/Discussions

Ah, any options for those that use the web based version?

Ditto about the web version. many companies don't allow their developers (or
anyone else) newsgroup access, so the web version is the only access.

Any news of the web version having a "watch option"?
