Using AT&T Worldnet WebNews

AT&T Worldnet Service has provided a WebNews interface for those people who are unfamiliar with regular newsreaders or like the convenience of using a browser to read newsgroups.

There are three basics to newsgroups:

• Reading Posts
• Creating a Post
• Replying to a Post

To read posts:

1. Go to http://webnews.att.net
2. All the AT&T Worldnet Help Newsgroups are listed on this page. For the purpose of this example we'll select the E-mail Software link.
   
3. The first page of the newsgroup's posts will be displayed. On this page you can:
   • See more posts by clicking the Next link beside the page number.
   • Perform a search using the Search newsgroup box and Search button.
   • Click the WebNews Home link to go back to the main Web News page.
   • Click the Refresh link to check for any new posts.
   • Click the Help link for comprehensive Web News help.
   • Click one of the Subjects to read a post.
   
   For this example, I'll choose How do I get AT&T CD/Software
   
4. The post, and any replies to the post, will be displayed in chronological order. From this page you can:
   • Reply to the particular post by clicking the Reply button that is on the bottom-right of each post.
   • Click the WebNews Home link to go back to the main WebNews page.
