Hi, Uncle Sky.
First I should note that this newsgroup and all of the old Microsoft.public.
groups only exist on servers that disregard the remove group message. They are
not widely propagated. Microsoft no longer hosts the newsgroups.
For MSN support and discussion there is a web forum:
http://answers.msn.com
For Hotmail and other Windows Live issues:
http://windowslivehelp.com
That said, I rarely use the My MSN pages, but I just logged into mine and it is
available and looks pretty much like it did the last time I looked. I did't
check on the news content, but do suspect that some modules are outdated on my
page.
I can't explain what you may be running into, but it sounds like an issue on the
back end with your account (LiveID) and/or an issue with locally cached content
on your side coupled with timing.
You might try resetting your web browser to defaults and/or clearing the
temporary Internet files and cookies. In IE8/9, you can go to Tools/Internet
Options/Advanced and click a button to do that in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, post to the forum above for assistance.
