Hello Shawn and all, You are quite right! I don't know either why not to install a Mailman and not to run a mailing list... and this particular web forum is really awful regarding its accessibility. -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile; Wlm&MSN: arthaelon @ yandex.ru; Jabber: arthaelon @ jabber.org Yahoo! messenger: andre.polykanine; ICQ: 191749952 Twitter: m_elensule

I don't know if it is legitimate or not tough. Nor do I care. Web based forums DO NOT WORK for my needs. I cannot do a quick scan of topics in a forum without first opening a browser and going to that forum. Whereas with an email list, I scan my email frequently during the day as part of my usual routine. So, if the mailing list is to disappear, I for one will not spend toooo much effort trying to replace it with a web forum. I can always use the IRC channel when I need assistance. To be fair though, I can see why there would be a desire to shift away from Google Groups. I will likely take a look at the forum to see what's what, but doubt it fill my needs. Still, there are other alternatives than a web forum (i.e. mailman). My thoughts. Shawn Matt Quackenbush wrote: > Hello, > > I received an email inviting me to join the new jQuery forums.
