> I don't see that, plain text with monospace font is better. I've been reading a book about a javascript library on my tablet lately. I tried changing some of the color settings in order to make it easier to read. That messed up the code syntax colors, so all I was left with was a different font and indenting. That was much harder to read than a color coded syntax. So there is definitely a large amount of personal preference in this area.
Also, on Discourse, you can use markdown if you want, or not. > I find forum hard to use, all people top post so you don't know what they are replaying to (I know, a lot of people do that here also). > Threading doesn't work properly, technical and because people don't replay to a post, but to the thread. Heh, I'd say the exact opposite. Email threads are horrid to read. Trying to find the right reply in any mailing list archive is an exercise in frustration. When the threads break off into separate conversations, it's impossible to get a good view of the whole topic, it's just terrible. > On a forum you need to create yet another account.

Discourse allows sign on with github, google, etc. On Monday, February 19, 2018 at 8:46:43 AM UTC-8, Kai Stian Olstad wrote: > > On Sunday, 18 February 2018 21.34.38 CET David Reagan wrote: > > I did a search, and I think the last time switching from mailing lists > to a > > forum was discussed was in 2014 here: > > https://groups.google.com/d/topic/ansible-project/3NkSXNxULFw/discussion > > > > Can Ansible consider switching from Google Groups to a Discourse > instance? > > I for one hope that will never happen. > > > > Elastic.co did so.
