nice to see..
a good idea that the ability of clicking in a ring 14..1..2..3...14..
1..2.. still remains.
nice look & feel ..
I agree to that ..

Guys, please continue discussing pros and cons of forum/mailing list
in separate (different) thread (subject) :) This "thread" is
devoted to "Configuration Screens / XCS User Experience Forum" (as
the subject says;) ).
Thanks a lot! :-)

No unfortunately. Well it is really up to the individual forum software.
Which is exactly the issue.
I currently follow 17(!) mailinglists. I don't need to do go and visit
each webpage and login to see what happens to the project. Its instant,
and even available offline. E-mail notification is not really an option,
because that kind of defeats the purpose. Rss can only read not post,
and is again only an intermediate step.
Computers where made so they do idiotic repetitive tasks for you,
automatically and efficiently. Visiting 20 forums daily is a waste of
time / Datatraffic.
Additionally a forum is a big hassle administration wise. Upgrades not
guranteed to work, switching between software is almost impossible without
data-loss, or spending a lot of time writing your own parser
which extracts
the stuff from the database and converts it to the new format.
In short: webforums are a terribly shortsighted thing.
Then again maybe I'm an old conservative it-industry-idiot that just has
seen/and suffered too many bad solutions implemented in his lifetime. I
know people of today like "shiny" interfaces. They find it easier to
subscribe to each forum, confirm e-mail address, answer captchas, scroll
through pages and pages of banners and "me too" "lol" + "rofl". Than to
subscribe to an ml and create a sorting rule into a seperate folder.
Ok, I'll stop now. Please don't take it personal.
The problem is, how in email do you create a new topic.
You write a mail to xcsoar-user@lists.sourceforge.net without it being a
reply to an existing topic. That creates a new thread aka. topic.
Plus with a nice e-mail client for
example mutt,thunderbird,evolution things appear threaded
[1] just like topics on a forum. You can even mark threads as
interesting or mark them collectively as read.
Plus forums tend to have higher security than an email list, so
they don't trust just the from address.
Thats what pgp and s/mime is for. :)
Cheers,
