I'm finding the volume of messages in the General Discussion forum a little high, and was about to unsubscribe when I realised it's the vector by which I receive announcements (new SlimServer releases, new hardware, new/upgraded plugins etc).
Is there a forum or mailing list which exists just for announcements? If not, could such a thing be created? I know that a lot of announcements already occur in General Discussion, and others are made in the 3rd Party forum; I think that's good as follow-up discussion belongs in those places. Would it be possible to (essentially) allow announcements to be cross-posted to a dedicated announcements forum which doesn't allow replies? I'm thinking, roughly, that when somebody starts a new thread to announce something, a check-box could be ticked which creates a copy of the post in the new forum and appends a link to the real thread. Then the subscribers to the announcements forum would see the announcement notices only, and anybody who wanted to follow up could do so in the real location. I guess the announcements forum might need to be moderated to prevent abuse (and in case the forum software couldn't be modified as suggested above). What does everyone think? Should this be filed in the bugs DB? Is it feasible? -- smst ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smst's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=752 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22737 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
