Actually, Fred, those of us that said it's less convenient have used forums before; how else would we know? I would think most users with any computer saavy and i-net experience will be be in "rock-and-roll" mode quickly. Modify the profile and go with it. My only hope (prayer ) is that folks learn how to edit quotes to just the relevant lines. It is SO easy (it was on Yahoo and didn't happen) to do.

Actually, Fred, those of us that said it's less convenient have used forums before; how else would we know? Actually, Seth, you can see how subjective that question and answer might be. To lump "those of us" is a bit premature. My point is that this *is* my first forum, and I am learning from the ground up with no preconceived notions before I try. I have to agree with Mike and others, that once I click "NOTIFY" I get an email anyway if I want one. The rest is in sensible categories that are alive; growing with more posts and new threads all the time. If there's a post to a thread topic that is of little or no interest to me, I just don't open it. If I need to find a post that had a good "how to" in it, I can find that with a simple search. I never could do that with the thousands of Usergroup emails I had. Thank you for the opportunity to exchange thoughts. Fred

It may take time, but I think this forum has a great start to be one of the best! The main ingredient that will make this forum work is the fact that the "moderator/owner" is hands on and explains why.... this is so, and that is not so. That keeps the number of flare ups to a minimum. Other forums, have absentee owners, with moderators who screen language and rule bending only. This baby has all its "shots", has its formula, a nice blankey, a Teddy bear, and a lot of nice people who will watch over it. Fred

I like the way I can immediately see if there are new (=unread by me) threads in a particular section. At first I thought I'd miss getting group digests delivered to my inbox, but it's not actually a huge effort to click on the Tech Corner link in my Firefox toolbar to see what's up!

OK, I give up. What do you do to have the quotes from the previous message(s) appear in a grey box?
