This may be way too much for some people. Whereas with a forum, we have the option of browsing through the subjects and dig into those threads that I care about. With Nabble, there is even an option of 'Subscribe via Email' for each individual thread. This works much better than setting up filters in the email client - which depends on tags, etc. which may or may not be set by the thread originator. This can be a good feature for folks who think there is 'too much' email on the dev/users list. > > > > >> > >> > Maybe you can ask here http://support.nabble.com/ > >> I've asked and form what I've since read it is possible just no idea how > >to do it. > >> > >> We can also give the new forums them nice domain names, I was thinking: > >> > >> http://devforums.flex.apache.org > >> http://userforums.flex.apache.org > > > >Sounds good to me. > Maybe devforum and userforum (singular instead of plural?) > > > > > >> > >> Any other suggestions? > >> > >> We'll also need to update the listing page, but I let the forums run for > >a week or so before making that changes. > > > >+1 for waiting and testing for a few days before updating the website. > +1 > >
