It seems that there are problems with some threads but I think it mostly not properly formed messages. I have the same problems in my mail client too. Nabble has rudimentary abilities to correct some thread errors (you can see some thread icons overcrossed - it means that nabble tried to position this message automaticaly). Maybe gmail have more powerfull algorithm of correcting thread problems. Having a digit after a user name means that there are several users with the same name but different e-mails. This works over all forums in nabble database, so it means that user share the same name with someone other or that he uses different e-mails. Brian Schott wrote: > > Why do you use nabble?

Sometimes I need access to forums via web and I just like nabble slightly more than over mail-list services. Also I think it just unfair that over languages that I like have their archives here, while J not. So I decided to correct this situation :-). And yes, posting is possible directly via nabble web interface, but you have to add your account to system. For example this answer I'm writing in browser.

I hope nabble now has the most complete archive of J forum messages - special thanks to J forums administartor Chris Burke. -- Mikl -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/J-forums-on-nabble.com-tf4095321s24193.html#a11663539 Sent from the J General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
