[hugin-ptx] Request : forum migration

Sorry (again) for the fuss if this doesn't work. I finally deleted my Google account and this is my third attempt at posting in an existing topic with an email (Protonmail) by copying the subject line from the topic's web page (in this case Request : forum migration). If this message is created

Re: [hugin-ptx] Request : forum migration

Completely agree. Also as long so the web / app interface produced threaded email that looked no different than what we are currently receiving I don't care what that part looks like. Don't want to start receive replies that are no longer part of the thread. or a bunch of overhead in the body

Re: [hugin-ptx] Request : forum migration

Some background: originally hugin-ptx was on a mailman server, but eventually had to move. We looked around, but there were no good options. At the time Google groups allowed us to add subscribers without them needing Google accounts, so we went for that. The mailing list aspect works as

Re: [hugin-ptx] Request : forum migration

Great! Mailman, I'm fine with this. Look, we may disagree on some points but I haven't seen anyone say that the Google Groups web interface is great or as good as other web-based support platforms, so if most of you prefer email and account-less interactions to a forum website, I'm okay with

Re: [hugin-ptx] Request : forum migration

There are many solutions to the problem how or where to host a forum. Every of these solutions has drawbacks. If you use Google they will most probably know where you are and that you are a reader of hugin-ptx. But I guess they will know that, anyway, as many websites are hosted by Google or have

David W. Jones >> It is frequently described in derogatory terms. Just like Gooole, it also tracks users throughout the web, wherever a Discourse forum is used. Again, I'm not seeing any proof. Could you provide a link or 2 to confirm that? Personally all I find is that Discourse doesn't track

Re: [hugin-ptx] Request : forum migration

I'm using a discourse site and I see in the settings "Enable mailing list mode". It seems to be possible to reply or even create new threads through email: -https://meta.discourse.org/t/set-up-reply-via-email-support/14003 - https://meta.discourse.org/t/configuring-reply-via-email-e-mail/42026

Re: [hugin-ptx] Request : forum migration

J. Schneider* To get back to the question of whether Discourse can be used as a mailing list, a quick search led me to this: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/discourse-as-a-mailing-list/57 and the first line of the wikipedia article says

Re: [hugin-ptx] Request : forum migration

Speak for yourself. I find it neither simple nor convenient. If you use it only through your email client, it means you never search for existing answers to your questions, which deflects the purpose of a forum. The only reason I see for using it this way is if you only give help and never ask

Re: [hugin-ptx] Request : forum migration

That's a good question. Discourse has mailing list tools and although I don't know if you can perform direct interactions to a thread from your email client, I will look into it when my internet connection comes back to a full bandwidth (next month). I also believe Discourse allows for

Re: [hugin-ptx] Request : forum migration

Hi, I have a question about how Disourse or an alternative would be used. My short seach and wikipedia reading on Discourse didn't answer this. What would a user have to do to read this forum and write to it? Would it be manifest as a web page? Would a user have to be a member? Seemingly there is

[hugin-ptx] Request : forum migration

Hi, I'm planning to permanently delete my Google account (let's please not debate that) but mostly, I don't find Google Groups to be a good choice for a community forum. I just found out about the Hugin section in discuss.pxls.us and I'm going to go
