Microsoft newsgroups blank ( no messages) ?

[Steve Mc]

I apologize if this is not the right newsgroup, but,

My Microsoft Excel community newsgroup is blank ( no messages showing). I
never noticed it before, but on the menu bar, it indicated click here to
install silverlight. I thought that was something new, so did it, but it
didn't help. Newsgroup is still not shwoing any messages.

Here's the link.

They are no more.

Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Communities
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/default.mspx

Newsgroups removed as of June 1, 2010
http://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/archive/2010/06/05/closin-the-nntp.aspx

You can still access the groups on some non-MS servers such as Eternal
September, but how long the quality of questions and replies lasts is
unknown.

Eternal September

The replacement forums.
