Yeah, Ya think? I use the Nabble archive exclusively to view
messages. Some years ago, the formatting changed so that it's no
longer possible to see who posted which message, who the thread
starter was, etc, etc. Because I run with javascript off, I can't see
what the posting dates are, and 100% of the email addresses are
obscured because I've never plumbed the depths of getting the Nabble
log-in puzzle figured out. And that guy whose photo doesn't show on
the left side of the page sure has a lot of posts...
How come Bruce was able to get ~his~ username to show up?
Now another (not EVDL related) problem has popped up, which is that
none of my email accounts any longer allow message relaying, which
means I have to send from the Juno account, and they append multiple
stupid news article links onto each message I post (sorry). Is it
actually possible to post to the mailing list through the Nabble
archive if getting logged in is solved?
I've largely given up on all of these issues. Reading the EVDL
archive is like divining tea leaves or reading the back pages of
Pravda in an attempt to figure out who is getting their back up about
which topic, when. None of that is going to attract new users, many
if not most of all of whom are going to be using mobile devices.
I appreciate what you do here, David, It could be a lot easier to use
and be more full-featured, but I always assume that people like me
who prefer the web-based forum format are a small minority. I help
administer a mailing list of renewable energy installers, and they
won't even discuss using a forum interface, they love the mailing
lists. Far be it from me to try and change tradition, I have more
pressing things to take care of around the homestead.
