Re: whats happened to consumer security discussion groups -home page

It would appear the newsgroup access via the web-interface <yuck> has been horked since sometime last weekend. But this hasn't affect NNTP (newsreader) access.

You can still access Security.HomeUsers and all other MS newsgroups, including this one, using your default newsreader and the MS newsserver news://msnews.microsoft.com

Security.HomeUsers newsgroup: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.security.homeusers

Security General (this one): news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.security
