If you read the Elecraft mailing list through the Nabble website, please read on. If you don't, but want to, please read on. If you don't, and don't want to, well, I guess don't read on.
* What if I don't use Nabble? What effect does this change have on me? Absolutely none. * What is Nabble and why should I care? The good folks (and new management) at QTH.net support the Elecraft mailing list, but the web site they provide for read and searching the list from your browser is more utilitarian than featureful. For most hams (who read the Elecraft list in their own mail program) that's not an issue. But many people now prefer to read mailing lists in a "forum" or "bulletin board" style, and so there are other options. Of the options currently supported, the one most like a bulletin board is a web site called Nabble.com. You can visit this in your browser and begin reading the list, search, and even reply (if you're subscribed both at the QTH.net site and have a Nabble account.) http://n2.nabble.com/Elecraft-f365791.html If you forget this site, don't worry; a simple web search for "elecraft nabble" will turn it up. Now, on to the point of this message. * Nabble new Look and Feel I've changed the default view on Nabble. You'll now see a few different groups of messages: general Elecraft, K3, KX1, etc. Click on one of "View More" links to see more posts on that topic. Be aware, though, that almost all posts are still going to show up in the main forum, because that's where mesasges from everybody who just sends mail to the Elecraft list goes. * How does this work? Nabble has a concept of sub-forums, but in this case they're all backed by the same mailing list. I created K3, K2, KX1, etc. forums a while back and they seem to be working ok. All posts created on Nabble there go to the Elecraft mailman.qth.net list just fine, but they show up categorized on Nabble. Posts mailed in directly to QTH.net will still show up in the main forum, so you'll have to read both. But if you post messages to the list from your browser using the Nabble web site, please try posting from the appropriate sub-forum. If you put a subject on your post that begins "[K3]" or "[K1]" that will help the hams who read the list in their mail readers as well. * What if I don't like it? Just click on the link at the top of the Nabble page that says "Topics View" and it will go back the way it was, with one exception: the "pinned topics" (the one that always show on the first page) for the K3 have moved to the K3 sub-forum, so you'll have to look for those there. * What if I still don't like it? Send me mail. Please don't ask Elecraft about it, because they don't run the service and are busy sorting resistors, hi hi.
