Other Vista forums have the same threads/content?!

[w3d]

Hi, I'm new around here (and to Vista) - looks like a great resource.

I found this site when I had an issue with igfxres.dll - and contributed to that thread. However, I'm a tad confused as the same thread appears to have (almost simultaneously) appeared on several other Vista related forums... winvistaclub.com, vistaheads.com, winvistatips.com (and possibly others?!). I can't log into these other forums with my vistax64.com account details.

Looking back at that thread it kinda looks like the 2nd poster was not actually a member of vistax64.com, but of another forum?

If someone replies to that thread on one of the other forums do I still get notified?

Who scrapes from who?

Who is the original Vista forum?!

Does it matter?

Hi w3d and welcome to Vista Forums

Posts submitted on the 'Vista Forums' section of these forums remain solely on here. However, posts elsewhere, specifically in the 'Vista Newsgroups' section, can appear on other forums. This section is actually a mirror of the Microsoft newsgroup and, as it is a public newsgroup, many other forums (as well as this one) both display it and allow you to post to it.

Ah haa, many thanks for clearing up the confusion (and the kind welcome)! Yes, that thread was in the 'Vista Newsgroups'.
