I agree, for some reason I had to also resubscribe as well and pretty much this Yahoo Forum pi**ess me off as I now have had to subscribe 3 times in about 2 years or so.
What I cant understand is why we dont have a proper forum rather then this ancient yahoo group thing, I reckon it puts people off. I remember a svgcafe.com forum that happened and was better laid out than this one but didnt seem to gain much interest as no one on this forum decided to move over apart from a few of us Maybe its a cost issue to put up and run such a thing - the yahoo one is free i presume. But I agree with Bill - it's more likely putting people off joining Richard Bill Thoen wrote: > Robin Berjon wrote: > > >> I don't know if there are other fora for discussion, I know I tend to >> go to the #svg IRC channel on irc.freenode.net since a lot of >> interesting discussions and help-giving tends to take place IMHO. >> >> > One other thing... when I tried to re-up my subscription here on the SVG > developers forum, I found Yahoo's nosy (required) questionaire really, > really annoying.
