(re-sent due to accidentally only replying to Fergal the first time) Hi Fergal (and wg),
My initial take on the new forum is that I think it is a neat idea although I hope we don't abandon the mailing lists anytime soon. However, I just created an account and something I noticed is that I seemingly can't link a RIPE NCC Access account after the account creation despite being able to link Google and GitHub accounts afterwards. Is this intentional? If not, can it be fixed? -Cynthia On Mon, Oct 10, 2022 at 3:48 PM Fergal Cunningham <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear all, > > We invite you to try out the RIPE NCC Forum, our newest online space for > discussions.
