---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - The Microsoft Network versions 1.0, 1.05, 1.2, 1.3
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you close a bulletin board (BBS) or newsgroup that contains a lot of
messages, it may take from 30 seconds to several minutes for the BBS or
newsgroup to close.

CAUSE
=====

This problem is caused by the cache trimming method used by MSN, The
Microsoft Network, for a BBS or newsgroup with more than 1000 messages.

RESOLUTION
==========

If you read a BBS or newsgroup frequently, you can work around this problem
by marking messages in the BBS or newsgroup as read, which cuts down on the
number of messages you see the next time you enter the BBS or newsgroup.

STATUS
======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
