Why can't I post Suggestions?

Read the title. "Suggestion" no longer appears under the "New" menu.

You are having difficulties because you are using the dreadful web
interface. Most people who regularly use newsgroups use a newsreader, not
the web interface (which is why I can't answer any questions about it). It
is very easy to set up a newsreader. See below.

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:

I use WLM for a newsreader. Click on New, select News message and then
select Suggestion. No problem here.

What utter rubbish. Just because you haven't figured
out how to use the Web Interface doesn't mean that
others don't know how to.
'Suggestions' is still available in the Web Interface.
Go play with your newsreader and leave those that prefer
the web interface alone.
Bye the way, MVP's aren't allowed to advertise !

Rubbish. The web interface is not as good as reading these posts with a
newsreader.
Many posters have difficulty in even starting a new post, and end up
hijacking a thread. Many others do not see replies to their questions.

Yeah, I know, my Outlook 2007 isn't working for mail and I'm currently
resolving the issue with a M$$$$$$$$$$$$$ tech $$$upport Repre$entative.
Sorry about the $, but they charge so much for it! Anyway, I'm currently
using the "slow as Hell" web-based newsreader, and it's only a temporary
solution.

And what about this 'Sam' idiot that is replying to posts that are months
old, thinking that they are going to see his stupid remarks, after the
original posts have disappeared from the newsservers ages ago.

Outlook 2007 does not have a newsreader. So much for your non-temporary
method of accessing the newsgroups.

Have you noticed a lot more spam in you hotmail mailbox recently?

"suggestion" is STILL under "New" in the web interface!

STFU! Malke is right.

The CDO interface blows donkeys, and so do those that use the CDO
interface blow donkeys too.

Now if you really are a lone wolf, wouldn't you be better suited playing
in a newsgroup that you are the only subscriber?
