From my point of view the *only thing that is an advantage* of the
Use-List is that messages come sequentially: one doesn't have to keep
hunting through the sections of the Forums to find out
whether new posting are there.
What more advantage does anyone need ?
It's beyond me how anyone can be bothered with the forums (which makes
me wonder if what I need for the forums is a "Forums for Dummies" guide).
How do you tell which forums and/or which topics have posts you haven't
read yet ?
How do you tell which forums and/or which topics have posts you have
newly arrived ?
(Yes, those are two different questions).
How do you set it up so that each morning (while you drink your coffee),
you laptop will download all the new posts and have them (already
identified as above) ready for you to read (i.e. while offline) ?
How do you compose a reply while offline ? (No, writing a reply in an
editor or email and then copying/pasting won't count).
If I could solve those questions then I might have a chance of sticking
to using the forums for more than a couple of days. The topic comes up
ever so often, I go look at the forums, see ow much good stuff there is
in there, swear to myself I will use them and try to keep up - and
within a week I've lapsed because it is just too time consuming and
frustrating.
So - is there a "beginner's guide" ?
