Re: [Dorset] Is it Discord, or Discourse?

Thanks or that Hugh. No wonder I am confused.

Gramps genealogical program is moving over to Discourse from the email system, 
which is the one that I mentioned last night having problems getting on to.

Discourse is also a thing, it’s more like a modern version of a typical forum. 
A few projects I interact with use it and it’s ok. I do prefer xenforo for 
forums though.

One of the reasons for using discourse that was touted to me was the 
ability to have attachments in communications.

But I do like filtering my LUG emails off to a DLUG folder, and then having 
the 'laddered' responses.


Cheers,

[Dorset] Is it Discord, or Discourse?

2022-09-06 Thread Peter Merchant

The two words have different meanings!

One of the reasons for using discourse that was touted to me was the ability to 
have attachments in communications.

But I do like filtering my LUG emails off to a DLUG folder, and then having the 
'laddered' responses.
