Re: [Ql-Users] R: QL-VGA
Hi, I use Thunderbird to read the QL Forum which uses RSS feed, you need to setup the feed to the RSS reader with the QL Forum Feed address: https://qlforum.co.uk/feed.php This reads the new QL Forum messages to Thunderbird RSS reader and I use a Web Browser to enter messages with the link to the actual messages.
