Hello there,
    I am a pretty new user on this system and I am using the reader rn
When I tried to enter a follow up article in a conference, a message
came up saying I had better read mod.announce.newusers
    However when I tried I was told that this conference simply didn't
exist!.Can someone help me please?


    Also if I want to read messages that are in conference that says it
has 0 unread messages in it, I was told to get into that conference and
type P to read any previous messages. However it won't let me...any
advice or am I just being thick?

Thanks

Andy
