One of the things that really bugs me with the group is that members who use
email to post can't start a new topic, which means current topics get
"hijacked". I tend to get all messages by email but use the web to start a
topic.
I think a standard forum set up but with the "technical" section being a
link to the google group would be a good compromise.

If you can find a forum package that still supports messages being
posted and received by email then i'm sure everybody will be happy.

i must admit im divided, i use both, and the technical info on here is
second to none and has helped me no end, but i find a "forum" layout
better for my needs to share photos and contain a single topic for my
use,
could the 2 not be amalgamated to a user group forum combined? the
best of both worlds
just a thought

There are plus and minus points for both solutions. Honestly they come
out somewhat equal or perhaps in favour of a system that emails all
based on our demographic.
Find a forum that can email all messages to some members (by choice) and
you may have a winner. However just remember that if qoc takes this over
someone will have to be responsible for the upkeep or pay for a hosted
solution. Web maintenance is something we/they have always struggled
with.
The biggest complaint seems to be about images, if this is the case I'm
happy to put together a guide on how to easily share images.

We have been round the loop before. That does not mean that we can't
re-ask the question from time to time.
I think that this list is not as friendly or feature rich as some
forums I frequent.
Now we have a new web site, it would be good to host a forum on it too.
This would boost usage of the QOC site too.
The question I guess is, is there a piece of forum software that is
feature rich but can also deliver emails to those members who rely
solely on the email function?
I have to say that with google making it harder to upload photos, it is
starting to make a forum look more attractive to me.

I have all the posts delivered to my email account into a separate
folder. This way I don't miss anything and you can easily search for
something.

Though to be fair this list is appalling to use - courtesy Google not
appreciating how to implement a usenet browser, not a fault of the
QOC. In particular, it can't even properly identify how many new
posts
have been added since the last time it was accessed. More
importantly,
once something is off the front page it might be as well be gone
forever; new replies to an old post remain attached to the old post,
and can be unfindable.
There's a lot to be said for a more formal forum structure.

I think that the numbers speak for themselves the other forum has
25
members according to the info therein whereas this forum would have
probably three times that number even if only a few are involved in
actual correspondence? Jim you probably know more about that topic?
