color=#0000ff size=2>I'd be OK with the mailing lists as long as the archive is
conducive to doing research, especially for new users. Then, maybe the
forums are only for "sticky" items and FAQ's that are placed there by admins
only, much as it appears now. I'm looking at the mailing list archive
(from this morning's messages) on the By Thread tab and seeing that the messages
are not threaded correctly.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

New web site - Forums or Mailing Lists?<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=996241816-07032006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>With
the new web site, there is now a discussion forums section. Right now
there are two sections, but I assume more will be added. Will the forums
be the preferred way for general developer and user discussions or will this
email list continue to be the primary method? I would prefer the forums be
the main repository for discussion as I find them much easier to do research on
historic topics due to their threaded nature. I know there are all kinds
of opinions on this, but it seems like there should be one or the
other.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
