Problem in logging out of the Windows Xp Newsgroupsite

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Ever since I registered in this newsgroup I faced a problem in logging out.
When I press the "signout" then again the same screen appears and nothing
happens.Then i have to close down the window.

Is it due to some problem in my explorer settings..?

The problems are because you are using the web interface, which is
awful. Use a newsreader instead.

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 since you already have it. Here are
some links to information about newsgroups:
