It's because google groups is crap. use a newsreader to read newsgroups, websites aren't suitable for this

Are you using 'new' groups interface?

Is there an 'expand' link somewhere near the top?

When you view the uk.d-i-y page, it seems you need to toggle the blue

topic list "topic summary" link,

directly under the "discussions" grey bar.

If I am interpreting this correctly, try clicking the expand / collapse all= icon on the RHS of the thread. There's a chain-link icon, then an envelope= , and the one to the right of that is the expand all (box with levitating l= ine, containing a downwards-pointing arrow) / collapse all (box with levita= ting line, containing a upwards-pointing arrow) icon. Give that a jab.

FWIW, I found the new Google Groups interface to be utterly loathsome, but = now I've been using it for a couple of weeks and figured out a few of its q= uirks, it actually seems better than the old. A steeper-than-usual learning= curve for a Google alteration, it would seem.

There's a pop-up help screen from the '?' key, maybe there's keyboard shortcuts for some of those mouse acrobatics?

Google could not be aresed to test it. Brian

you want 'topic list' not 'topic summary,' near the top
