RE: [slim] Forum Style rather than Lists
I find graphics and colors very irritating as well, which is why I have sent my HDTV to the junkyard in favor of a 1950's black and white console model. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Olav Sunde > Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2005 8:24 AM > To: discuss@lists.slimdevices.com > Subject: Re: [slim] Forum Style rather than Lists > > Michael Peters wrote: > > On Fri, 25 Feb 2005 11:26:44 -0600, momerath > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > >>Another solution is to use Gmail for your mailing lists.

I second the gmail suggestion - it's actually a faster way to use lists than a mail client on my hard disk. I read this forum with the news reader in Mozilla Tunderbird pointed to news.gmane.org - gmane.music.equipment.slimdevices.general , in my opinion the best way to do it.

Re: [slim] Forum Style rather than Lists
Another solution is to use Gmail for your mailing lists. It has a unique interface that closely resembles the flat-threaded forum style that seems most popular (I prefer branching threads personally). Its also much faster than most web applications owing to its use of javascript moderated xml transactions (no page reloads). If you need an invite, I have 50 to spare. > >> > My question is simple - why can't we have a forum > >> in > >> > this style, rather than email lists?? I'm sure > >> > there's a good reason!

Re: [slim] Forum Style rather than Lists
Thanks Michael! I fell a bit daft now! Although, it's not obvious from the web-site that you can get to this page. Also, I don't seem to be logged-in, as I can't post from that page (this is sent from an email, as per ) What do I need to do? You'll have to be patient a little longer as it's read-only for the moment.

Re: [slim] Forum Style rather than Lists
Before I bought my squeezebox, I was looking into the Roku Soundbridge. One thing I really liked was the on-line forum associated with that product - www.rokulabs.com/forums My question is simple - why can't we have a forum in this style, rather than email lists?? I'm sure there's a good reason! It's just that I prefer the roku-style of forum, as I find them much easier to use and browse. http://forums.slimdevices.com -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Forum Style rather than Lists
Hi all Before I bought my squeezebox, I was looking into the Roku Soundbridge. One thing I really liked was the on-line forum associated with that product - www.rokulabs.com/forums My question is simple - why can't we have a forum in this style, rather than email lists?? I'm sure there's a good reason! It's just that I prefer the roku-style of forum, as I find them much easier to use and browse. Cheers Nick ___ ALL-NEW Yahoo!
