Has anyone at Legacy considered simplemachines.org (a free forum software) for use with this forum. The Guild of One-Name Studies recently added this type of forum to its member services/resources. It is a clean system with a topic-based layout. Members of the forum are able to post by topic, attach videos, photos, screen captures, and files. These are on-line so they do not download unless you choose to download them. It may be something to consider as forums evolve over time. Additionally you would not need to have posts in your email - just sign in to the forum and look for the topics that interest you.
