The others gave you a way to deal with the web interface but it really is
much easier to find things by using a real newsreader instead. This is very
easy to set up. Here's the information should you care to try it:

*****
Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn
to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you
can use Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have
it. Here are some links to information about newsgroups:

cee, let me add to Malke's good advice that if you want to search for
threads in which you've participated (or search based on any other
criteria) the best way to search is using Googlgroups Advanced
newsgroup search at http://groups.google.com/advanced_search?q=&

As Malke says, using a newsreader is the best way to participate, but
Googlegroups is the best way to search.

Cee, you have made 11 posts here!
I use the web interface too; nothing wrong with it!

Click on your post in this thread on the left hand side to open it.
Then in the right pane, click on your name, Cee, at the top.
A new, small window opens up, with a link to view recent posts!
It is easy to use this when you know it!
