RE: [jQuery] new forums used?
+ 1 Why not have both? (beside possible spammers)... I use the CF-Talk list constantly and it's email- and forum-based. Messages go to both email and the forum. Does the forum have "subscribe to this thread" capability? What the URL for the forum, anyway?

Hi there, I just noticed this group is still having lots of activity. I for one am very pleased to see we're moving to actual forum on forum.jquery.com, but it appears that moderation isn't done there yet (or I'm just too impatient...) Are we supposed to continue posting here, or was my first idea right to start using the new forum? Thanks so much for a fantastic library, great support, and a marvellous spirit :) David.
RE: [jQuery] new forums used?
Hi, David... What do you find more appealing about forums than an email list?
