I find that kind of forum not representative of the quality of MLO ! MLO is there to help in classifying everything, tasks, projects, ... Such a forum is like a cheap shop where you can find anything you want, at a very cheap cost. The only one problem being to ... find it :-(
Current forum is good for peaople that want to keep aware about the product evolution, problems, ... but for new guys who need more specific or even generic info, it is simply useless ! This forum is just like an RSS, you are notified for new topics ! I vote for something else, even something like phpBB Regards, Dominique.
