Randy, I have signed up for the new forum to receive individual emails for all new posts in the various areas I am interested in (mostly all the English ones).
I then have an Apple Mail Rule to move them into various folders. Works just like this old list for me. No real difference. I do like the ability in the new forum to post formatted code and screenshots. So much better to get the point across that pure text like this forum. Thanks, Walt P.S. I don’t access the forum in a browser at all (after the one time setup). Everything is handled in Apple Mail. > On Jun 4, 2021, at 11:42 AM, Douglas von Roeder via 4D_Tech > <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Randy: > > "I find that it’s harder to find issues on the forum.
