Affinity when you say right forum I disagree. Google Groups to which I am signed up some direct to my gmail account- this centralises amass of information for me - I agree nabble is rather awkward to view - google groups (browsing archives not in gmail) is not bad at all perhaps this is just taste. A great benefit of google groups is that its passive involvement the cakephpforum.net requires (more) involved management.
Further gmail has filters - so I can set emails from certain list members to be starred foreinstance Ad7Six and others - with gmail notifier I can see emails as the arrive (I am growing to dislike the traditional format of forum - with features offer within gmail) For code highlighting posters can use pastbin - so I don't consider this a problem I can't see what can be achieved with the forums you talk of that can not be done with ggroups and since a great deal of information has been amassed here it seems extremely worth while retaining this. I have recently been getting in to twitter and have found that to very useful ina novel way (much cake information coming to me) For me I felt that the cakephpforum (it now seems more active perhaps numbers of those who wish another style of forum has grown) when I was last there look inactive compared to this group - so I felt that would learn much more watching messages here & checking bakery. now with the that I am following @***cakephp <http://twitter.com/cakephp>* on twitter information happy baking to all - S 2009/3/27 Affinity <goo...@affinitywebsolutions.co.uk> > > Reply to Ad7six (sorry topic has moved on but wanted to answer) > regarding support forums.... > > "What forums?" > > I have also posted on http://www.cakephpforum.net/.
