In my case, I just have access to my email via outlook (cuz of my job).. it will be a shame not to read, ask or contribute with you. - Original Message - From: Rick Faircloth r...@whitestonemedia.com To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, January 18, 2010 12:17 PM Subject: RE: [jQuery] new forums used? it is easier to use a spammed mailing list than a forum.

[jQuery] new forums used?
Hi there, I just noticed this group is still having lots of activity. I for one am very pleased to see we're moving to actual forum on forum.jquery.com, but it appears that moderation isn't done there yet (or I'm just too impatient...) Are we supposed to continue posting here, or was my first idea right to start using the new forum? Thanks so much for a fantastic library, great support, and a marvellous spirit :) David.
RE: [jQuery] new forums used?
Hi, David... What do you find more appealing about forums than an email list?

Re: [jQuery] new forums used?
If the forum is prefered by some users, that's OK, but I don't think it is a good idea to kill the mailing lists, because there are many users that prefer reading a mailing list. The forums will *always* be much less accessible for the blind users for example so it would be much helpful if both ways of communicating will coexist. If some of the users won't like the forum, they would be able to use the mailing lists, while if other users wouldn't want to receive the emails from the mailing list they could just unsubscribe, so the mailing lists won't hurt anyone.

RE: [jQuery] new forums used?
+ 1 Why not have both? (beside possible spammers)... I use the CF-Talk list constantly and it's email- and forum-based. Messages go to both email and the forum. Does the forum have subscribe to this thread capability? What the URL for the forum, anyway?
