Yeah, I found it hidden under the "gear" icon. But I can't find a way
to search on a message ID anymore. Like this one:

Wish I could answer. I don't like the latest Google (they're pushing
Google Chrome down our throats). It's almost impossible to find posts
from newsgroups anymore. If that's what you were asking about.

There's 4 different Google Groups interfaces. Make sure you're in the
old desktop interface. Good luck - you're gonna need it!

deja.com just takes me to google's "Welcome to the new Google Groups!"
page. :barf: With no way to do any meaningful searches.

I've bookmarked the old advanced_search page. That still works... for
now. (I bet it disappears soon)

This will take you directly to the Google Advance Search. Thank
goodness I bookmarked a long time ago.

Google Groups search has always been unreliable. But in this particular
case:

I ended up having to download Chrome, because so many things just
don't work any more. BUT it is extremely offputting (to me), very
different from the Mozilla-type browsers that I have always used.
I intend to use it judiciously and without logging in unless it
is for something that I need to log in for.

I started having the impression that google just wanted to make
you use another browser, and they hoped it would be theirs. For
one thing. You could see for a split second that, say, youtube
was fine on your old browser, but then they'd switch that to a
page that claimed the old browser was incompatible, you were
getting a "light" version, etc., etc.
