some kind of problem

rbig · 08-29-2004, 02:07 PM

I am subscribed to and can access approx 20 Yahoo Groups, but can't access anything but their opening pages, and can't post.

I am registered in 4 forums, can log in, but can't post.

I am registered in 7 forums, can log in, and can post.

I doubt that this is an ISP server problem, because, by now, my ISP would be buried in tech support complaints from others having similar problems.

I've had other people go to some of the groups and forums and use my username/password, and they got in. So, it isn't a web site problem.

Seems like it's a "my pc" problem. If agreed, what do I look to in my pc? Never ran across anything like this one before.

And, yes, this is one of the forums I'm not having trouble with.

Accounts on some forums need to be activated via mail. When U register they mail u the link for validation.
That process is not present here. Hence, U r not having any problem posting here.
