I don't find this surprising at all, in general. The web forum model of interaction becomes inefficient in a hurry for people who deal with a large volume of messages. You have to manually visit each forum to check for new messages and posting means entering text into a web browser (often slow and clumsy) and interacting with a web interface (also often slow.) These aren't flaws with Jive specifically, but common to all web forum software. It just doesn't scale well from a user perspective. -- David Brodbeck System Administrator, Linguistics University of Washington _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
