I think forums may be available (again) soon on the u2ug site - I'm not sure.
But one of the reasons behind the muddle at u2ug was that a lot of people DON'T like forums - they find them a pig to use even if they have access. I don't take the digest, for precisely the reason you've discovered. I find google a pain because it makes news look like a forum - but I use it if I have to. I use news or email from choice. So, if and when the fora reappear, don't expect to find me (or a lot of the other experts) there.

Trying to follow a thread in the digest today I had to wade through pointless re-inclusions of previous posts where people had just hit the reply-to option without doing any editing. We have been here before I know. But a forum would sort all this. It is user friendly and you are able to follow just the threads you want to. You can also easily pick up a thread and follow it's history. The main argument against the forum is that some of you out their can not "access the web". How can anyone in a development role do their job properly nowadays without being able to "access the web". I am sure that if all we had was a forum on the web, admin departments would be told that X needs web access and they would get it.
