Wendy,
All that subscribing to a forum will do for you is that
you'll get an
email telling you that someone has replied to something on
the forum.
The email will NOT contain the posting, nor any reference
short of the
subject line to the previous post.
In short, all communication from the U2UG site will be
encouraging you
to return to the web site to view each individual thread.
If, like me, you have no access to the net at work, then,
like me, you
are stuffed!
The forum is of absolutely no use to me. The only way I can
partake of
anything is if it works the way Clif's list works:
I have to receive all information by email
I have to be able to interact by email
That's it.
No other way.
Incidently, I actually learn a lot from posts made to other
"groups", eg
UniData (I'm on UniVerse), SB+ (I'm on original SB)...
Having to
subscribe to individual forums and hop from one to the other
is a tad
time-consuming.
Basically, without the list I'm left high and dry.

For me it has to be email or newsgroup. I will not be as
active in a
forum that requires using a web browser as I will in an
email list or
newgroup.
However, it looks like you can "subscribe" to the forums on
u2ug.org,
which I hope means that forum postings will arrive via
email. If that's
true, then if you have only email access at work, you should
still be
able to participate once you join and subscribe.
Thanks, Clif, for hosting these lists. Without them, I
never would have
gotten all of my UniObjects for Java stuff working, nor
been able to
help so many other people get started.
