How come a lot of the post I read have the ads on the right side of the
page mixed in them? I cant even read the 1st & 2nd post ( the last past
of the senenteces)........help!!

WHAT ads?????? Sometimes a Netscape news story, or a
web-page I visit will have that annoying feature, but I've
never encountered it (or ads) on newgroups!

She's reading the groups via web-search - hence the ads. Outlook Express
doesn't do 'ads" - at least *mine* never has.

I am reading the groups by web-search. I log into yahoo and in my mail box
I have links to the groups I joined. I also have AOL and Internet Expl.
and I think I have Outlook express.How do I get to my groups using
those instead?

One solution would be to use a news reader program to read the posts,
instead of reading them on web-search. Then you would see just the posts,
without any ads. There are a number of programs available for free or
with relatively low prices. My program of choice is Forte Agent

It sounds like your page is not displaying properly, is that right? IOW,
there's overlap between the ads on the right and the posts themselves?
Try reducing the size of the font of your browser. If you're using
Firefox, just hold down CTRL and press the minus key until the problem
clears up. If you're using IE, well, good luck with that.

That's because you're using groups and not a proper newsreader with a
proper news server. If you have Windows, then your computer will have
Outlook Express, if your ISP doesn't provide a news feed then you can
subscribe to a news provider, like www.news.individual.net very inexpensive.
