This UI on this forum sucks!

Who can I contact to complain about this entire newsgroup UI? It's horrible,
and half the time, the right pane doesn't load...even in other browsers.
It's sluggish as well, just very choppy.

Why not just use a NNTP client (such as outlook)

Cheers,

Greg

Why not use Google Groups? for the same forum. Much simpler UI

OK. Why not use an NNTP library to get and order the posts and you can have
any kind of UI you want? Agreed, sometimes it's slow, but it doesn't bother
me that much, at least not with the MSDN newsgroups web interface. Has nice
features too - email notification of responses, etc.

That's an issue with Google Groups, which is a Web interface to the
Usenet newsgroups. Google is not Usenet, and Google does not own
Usenet. Usenet has been around for many decades, and Google is
probably less than 10 years old. Most people read and post to Usenet
using a newsreader, not a Web browser. You could try this, too: it
tends to be easier and more flexible.
