If there ever is a forum for Legacy, hopefully it will be set up like
the Rootsweb ones and gatewayed to a mailing list so you never have
to go to it.
However, in my experience of Rootsweb, messages gatewayed from the
Boards are generally from beginners and almost impossible to respond
to except to ask for clarification of their problem or request.
Message Boards are so much more time consuming. Perhaps my
perspective was set when I was on dial up. Message Boards are so slow
to use compared to email. However, I still am usually frustrated by
trying to find stuff on Message Boards to the point I give up.
With a mailing list you can sort very quickly in so many different
ways - certainly necessary at the moment with the mail delays.
Cheers,

There are many of us who loathe using an on line support forum. I
prefer to read messages via email rather that waste my time logging on
to a forum to see if there are any message that I have absolutely no
interest in.

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Email list for legacy solutions only?
What you are asking for is a support forum with threaded subjects, something
that many other companies with products and services have already set up.
For example, there could be specific categories for sources, one for bug
reports, one for installation problems, one for charting, etc. In addition,
such forums tend to eliminate the users receiving copies of each and every
message posted, including those messages to which the user has no interest.
Many forums allow the user to specify something along the lines of notify
me of all responses to this message which means they would receive an
e-mail notification about the message subject to which they have expressed
an interest. On the downside, what the user may miss is a new subject opened
to which they may have a great interest but have no knowledge that it was
ever posted. This requires the user to visit the forum web site to check for
new subject matter being posted. Why Millenia has not gone this route is a
mystery to many of us as it would eliminate the constantly repeating message
of plain text only , etc. Maybe we ll see it sometime in the future.
