if you are having to click on everything, be sure you are logged into the apex site. If you are not logged in, it really is a PITA to use. There area several ways to view the messages, including just a running reponse.

Don't worry though, we still love you Eric... jim ----- Original Message ---- From: John Whitling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2007 12:51:25 PM Subject: Re: [F500] Forum vs Mailing List I vastly prefer phpBB, and it's free. having to click on every reply, as you have to on Apexspeed is a PIA. Plus the thing looks very cluttered .. because it is. Don't get me wrong though .. I prefer any forum over the emails. Having said all that, our communication medium isn't nearly as important as the ideas that flow within it. dan hester wrote: > Hey guys > The vbulletin software to set up the same exact type forum here is > rather inexpensive 160.00 and 30.00 a year after that, that does not > include web hosting thats just the software > Eric allready has the web hosting maybe everyone outa be askin him if > he's open to tranfer this mailing list to the forum board type system, > then people can have thier own profiles pictures etc. > person to person im's messages and other stuff, maybe even a chat > board added so everyone can get together and bs live!!!, If he doesnt > have the time to do all the setup and stuff i would be more than happy > to give him a hand and get it running, I think we all outa ask Eric > first before mentioning the idea of asking some other forum to host a > forum for the f500 group, Eric has supported the F500 team from day > one with web hosting and a lot of effort keeping the list running and > keeping this community connected. what really sucks is having to goto > 3 or 4 different forum boards because a few of the guys post here and > few more post somewhere else and so on > This is the biggest group of F500 racers drivers and fans so why go to > some other site? > I agree the mailing list type communication is outdated but i dont > thing anyone has suggested or even asked if eric is open to the idea > of an upgrade, especially if the group is willing to throw in a few $$ > to pay for it.
