I think we’re all too lazy to get up and move all the way over to the 4D forums.
I do go there for research and find the forums much more active, and with far many more users than we see here. And with 4D themselves pushing us in that direction, I see more and more of us who have been on this list for 20+ years posting less and less here. I don’t think it’s a diminished community because the forums certainly seem to be thriving, and I have to admit the ability to add links and images and so on makes it easier to illustrate our problems. What I _don’t_ like is that it’s much more work to get it done. I think mailing lists are just a thing of the past and a few of us are holding on for all we’re worth.
