Forums are not "as personal" as mailing lists. This format seems more like family, a little more personal. How do I know when something new has been posted in a forum, do I keep hitting refresh and keep hopping from topic to topic?
Well you can recieve automatic emails when a new post has been made to a thread, but you wont get another email on that thread having been posted to until you check it out (so you aren't inundated), which is listed in a group of subscribed threads, which you can also simply check there without getting email notification. Theres also weekly updates, and while you're browsing around, the images indicate new threads/posts/etc. So theres alot of ways really. And don't we all hop from topic to topic, on a forum or otherwise? Joseph M. Gaffney aka CuCullin
