David T, It is just a web interface to the mail listserver. I find it has some advantages in presentation of threaded posts particularly when looking back over archived material compared with my mail client. Someone has updated the signup instructions some time ago to point out that you have to be signed up to both the Nabble interface and the GnuCash mailing list and the the Nabble signup can now send an email to signup to the GnuCash mail listserver when you signup to Nabble. It otherwise operates independently of the gnucash mail listserver. It normally only creates a problem for the gnucash list when new users sign up without reading the instructions fully first.
This appears to be some change in the Nabble access rules, possibly in a software update, which prevents registered users from creating new posts. The problem is whoever is administering it, if anyone, does not appear to be monitoring the emails to the administrator from users as I have now sent 5-10 over the last few weeks. Anyone can create a Nabble interface to any mailing list which seems an OK idea, until you get an orphan which no longer functions. There seems to be no way to contact whoever is running the servers which feed Nabble to point out that a particular mail listserver interface has been orphaned. I think it would probably be better to bring it into the fold so that the Gnucsh mailing list administrators have someone to contact when the occasional problem like this occurs Nabble is still OK for browsing and archive searching but not posting so for the moment we have no choice but to get our Kool ade direct from the source rather than from the Soda Stream. The downside for me is I have to remember to swap email signatures from my professional persona to my gnucash persona when I swap hats.
