Tips with working with MSN:
1) If you are having problems with your regular server try one of these instead...
http://au.msnusers.com/
http://ca.msnusers.com/
http://nz.msnusers.com/
http://uk.msnusers.com/
http://www.msn.com/
http://www.msnusers.com/
If you click on the above and any of them don't work, then just copy and paste into your address bar and it will take you to the same place...then, click on "My Groups" which is in the TOP far LEFT hand column and it will take you to your groups where you can click on the link to the group.
2) Here's a TIP for getting around the error pages while MSN's got the HiCcUpS and getting your posts to go through!
When you see the "We can't find that page" or "That page can't be displayed" when trying to Post, don't close the window, your post is still there! Just press F5 and then press ENTER when the next window pops up asking if you'd like to resend the information. You may have to do this a few times, but your post will go through!
And... Double Click all links, everything, even the post buttons (like New Discussion, Send Message, Reply, etc)
Feel free to pass on this tip!! :)
When I tried this out the first time.... I had to hit the F5 button and Enter button 9 times...but it went thru!!!
3) MSN Auto Care is a tool you can install to diagnose and automatically fix common MSN Premium and MSN Dial-up problems. When you have problems with MSN, use Auto Care to help ensure that the software is running properly.
