RE: Forum Alpha Testing



Title: RE: [ukha_d] Forum Alpha Testing
Stuart,

In this world of fixed-price internet links, I don't understand the difference between bandwidth "wasted" by downloading an easily-ignored advert, and bandwidth "wasted" be leaving the computer connected to the internet while you read an email.
 
This isn't 10 years ago, where usage costs were an issue.

Nik,

At the end of the day it's very much down to personal preference.
I do understand that some people prefer e-mail, how ever it's not always
the best solution, eg my particualr gripe is that by using yahoo, we are
subject to a footer, which is often longer than the content of the
e-mail itself, consider the bandwidth this wastes when sent to ~500
poeple.

With regards the Fuji, site it's run on a best effort basis, and I have
no desire to integrate the yahoo group, I may look at maintaing an
archive of the yahoo group on the site but thats as far as it will go.

I do however still strive the elusive goal of a system that integrates
newsgroups, mailling lists and web based forums all into a single user
friendly system.

Regards

Stuart
