Thanks for the info, Brian. Does anybody have any insight into why the Forums and the mailing lists are not the same?
I didn't realize that was the case for months, because I don't think I've ever seen that setup before, and can see no possible upside to such an arrangement. For all projects I've been part of which have web-based forums, those are just an alternative view onto the same mailing lists. See, for example ... Mailing list - http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-devel-list/2014-September/thread.html Forum - http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/Mono-Dev-f1517221.html So for months I was only using the Forums, because I thought that it was the same as the mailing list and was more comfortable with a web interface. What possible benefit is there in dividing the community in two in that way? If the existing forum setup is having problems anyway, perhaps it is time to kill it off and replace it with an alternative which is just a view onto the mailing lists, and to bring those two groups together? If everything is meant to be happening on the dev mailing list then the Forums should be using that too. I would have thought. Unless I am just a bit crazy.
