Pardon a newbie question about using this forum. I'm used to using google groups for all my development issues. I end up knowing which keywords to include so I get the groups I want. So my searches go across all google groups.
I was expecting something similar with VistA but find the forum interface unfamiliar and searching /viewing is not as convenient as google. I'm currently using the forum this way: I subscribe to the option to get packaged emails (8 emails bundled) I open the 'Today's Topics' email and scan for interest in just subjects. For subjects of interest I open the email. How do you use the forum? Thanks, Grayson Ferrante PS. Is there a reason why the forum hasn't been moved into a google group? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Quattlebaum Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 9:26 AM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Hardhats-members] RE: Re: New Forum available David, We chose phpBB for the primary reason that we want to support the open source community. vBulletin is very nice, but it's a commercial license. Community Server is nice, but it's main purpose is to upgrade you to the commercial license, and it runs on a Microsoft platform.
