OK

<qp>
We recommend that you start with
http://windowslivehelp.com/
</qp>
That would indicate that Windows Live Support is prepared to support paying MSN Premium Customers who use MSN Explorer..


<qp>
....for those users who prefer to use an NNTP (newsgroup) reader to participate in the
newsgroups community, we have developed a solution called the NNTP Bridge
which allows a user to connect a variety of supported NNTP readers to the
forums they would like to participate in and continue having the NTTP reader
functionality....
</qp>
Fyi...the Windows Live Solution Center(http://windowslivehelp.com) is not a supported forum for use with the NTTP Bridge

After reading through all of the catagories and sub catagories in the most
likely, and some not so likely, places to ask questions about MSN browser and
MSN dial-up, there does not seem to be any place on these forums mentioned to
ask or get answers about MSN.
I would hope they would add a new catagory for MSN specific questions and
answers as the current lists are massive and any question it would seem to
me, having no specific place to ask, will be lost in that forum setting.

If someone could post the most likely place to post questions among those
thousands of forums it would be very helpful. Also, add a link to this new
area for asking questions to the monthly newsletter so MSN users will know
where to go.

I am not sure they have thought this through very carefully.

At this point, there is no forum for MSN issues. We'll have to see if they
create one.

Correct, there is no location on that site dedicated to WLM.
Anything Msn related, in fact, should be redirected to support.msn.com or your MSN partner.
