I personally will never use the forum, I find mailing lists far more convenient. I can read my mail anywhere anytime, a forum requires an active internet connection. Also my email client highlights what I haven't read yet. If you really want to setup a forum, I would suggest using FUDForum and its email sync functionality. This way everything which gets posted on the list ends up in the forum and vis versa. I think anything else will cause things to get post. I also think that for the site to have any credibility it needs to use a subdomain of ubuntu.org.au - such of forum.ubuntu.org.au Cheers Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
