Hi, Ty... Having used both forums and mailing lists extensively, I have to say I prefer the mailing list. I like for everything to come to my inbox rather than having to visit all the forums.
What has really helped me in sorting through the huge influx of info each day from various lists is how I've configured Outlook. I have the message sorted by date then by subject. That way, I can keep all the various topic messages grouped together. Grouping the messages this way causes Outlook to group the messages much like a forum does, including showing which messages were responses to previous messages with indenting. The subject line for the messages is shown only once at the top of the message group. It's really a big help. One of the lists I'm on, CF-Talk for ColdFusion, has all messages online and searchable, too, which provides a reference as a forum would. Perhaps (if it's not already) the messages of the jQuery list could be archived online so they can be searched for topics and solutions.

Subject: Re: [jQuery] jquery rocks Hi Rick, Did you see the solution somebody came up with in the discussion digests. I can dig it out and resend it if you don't have it. how do you ever follow this email list stuff. A forum would be so much better for future reference, and ease of use.
