I received this email as well. I don't know if it is legitimate or not
tough. Nor do I care. Web based forums DO NOT WORK for my needs. I
cannot do a quick scan of topics in a forum without first opening a
browser and going to that forum. Whereas with an email list, I scan my
email frequently during the day as part of my usual routine.
So, if the mailing list is to disappear, I for one will not spend toooo
much effort trying to replace it with a web forum. I can always use the
IRC channel when I need assistance.
To be fair though, I can see why there would be a desire to shift away
from Google Groups. I will likely take a look at the forum to see
what's what, but doubt it fill my needs.
Still, there are other alternatives than a web forum (i.e. mailman).
My thoughts.

Hello,
I received an email inviting me to join the new jQuery forums. It
contained a username and password for me to use. However, when I try to
login, I am told that my email address has not been confirmed and
therefore cannot do so. A link to a help page is given whereby I can
allegedly have a confirmation email sent by following a list of
instructions. Interestingly enough, the very first step given in the
instructions is to.... login. I thought that perhaps I would be able to
do so at the link given, but alas an attempt to login there results in
the exact same message and help link being presented.
Any suggestions on how to actually login/activate would be appreciated. :-)
