I signed up for the Flex community website a while ago and found it very tedious to use. Rudimentary "search" ability - e.g., no way to search for messages from a particular author. No way to filter messages, e.g., to hide, or flag, or tag, messages I've already read. No way to order messages, e.g., by date or author, etc. No way to save, forward, or print, a message. No way to read messages except through a browser - in contrast to my desktop, tablet and smartphone where there are many quite good custom apps for handling mail efficiently. I searched for a way to set up a forwarder so that messages would be sent automatically to my regular mailbox, where I know how to do all of those things plus more. Couldn't find any way to do it. The "how to use the community" information posted by Flex is minimal at best. No answers there. Shortly after I signed up I posted a question about something. There may have been replies. But now I can't remember exactly how I posed the question, and I can't find that "conversation". There's no "SentMail" folder to capture all the messages I have sent, and no way to carbon-copy my mailbox as I send something. It also seems that the Flex Community materials are somehow hidden from search engines. If I Google "flexradio.biz haverty", I get a list of postings I've made on this list. If I Google "community.flexradio.com youngblood" to see what the company president has said, I get nothing except a pointer to community.flexradio.com. It's possible that I just didn't spend enough time to figure out how to do any of these things. But I find that I don't log in much at all, and when I do there's such a hodgepodge of stuff that it's hard to see if there's anything of interest since I last looked. Am I missing something? Is there a way to get a "feed" of the community messages into email, or a newsfeed, or any other such mechanism that is commonly used in the Internet? 73, /Jack de K3FIV _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz To opt out of the Reflector: http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz
