On pretty much all forums you can subscribe to be notified via email of posts within topics or entire subforums of interest - it's all managed in the user control panel. You can even choose to get a daily digest of new postings. The control panel will also keep track of your subscribed topics and link to new posts. I can't really see how a mailing list is better? Forums have MUCH better organisation and preserve the discussion in a way that is more accessible and easily searchable.
Speaking of the forum, there doesn't seem to be a "New Topic" button anywhere but the General Discussion subforum. - Mike On 22 May 2011 13:09, Martin Gregorie <mar...@gregorie.org> wrote: > On Sun, 2011-05-22 at 13:27 +0200, Tobias Bieniek wrote: >> Yes, indeed.
