My posts dont show up on the web version?

Can anyone shed some light as to why my posts posted from Outlook express
dont show up on the web version of this list? I know there are other folks
on this list not posting from the websiote and their posts show up fine...

Most likely it's because you're posting through your ISP's news server
instead of through forums.macromedia.com. I don't know exactly how to
configure OE to use a different server, but there should be such an
option somewhere in the area where you choose newsgroups to which to
subscribe. While postings made through non-Macromedia servers will go
out into 'Usenet at large' -- where I see the above, for example --
Macromedia's server doesn't seem to collect such messages for displaying
in its own fora.

I read this NG (using MT-NewsWatcher) through my ISP's server, but I
usually post through forums.macromedia.com (but not this time, because I
wanted to be sure this appears as a reply to your message) to allow my
messages to be seen by everyone, whether in Usenet or in the Web forum.
