Re: [44net] New Facebook Group

Hey Tony, Just a question, but why would a web forum be unusable to you? The login part is no problem as far as I can see, there are many password toolkits that'll remember your password and login for all websites (1password, keepass, .. ) But I would like to know why a forum is unusable. There are many on the net, and if set up properly and orderly, you can search through them, post comments/questions in the right place etc But it would mean more overhead for the maintainer as there's an application to support and it is likely to get a lot of attention from spammers who try to use the forum for their spam. Facebook is all good and well (for those that use it), but not suitable to replace a mailinglist like this one imho. I personally don't do threads in my mailbox. That's just not useable to me. I like my mails sorted on receive date/hour rather than subject. I did try it some years ago, but I kept missing mails and not reading them, so I went back to my normal layout :) 73, Ruben - ON3RVH -----Original Message----- From: 44Net [mailto:44net-bounces+on3rvh=on3rvh.be@hamradio.ucsd.edu] On Behalf Of Tony Langdon Sent: dinsdag 12 september 2017 7:30 To: 44net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu Subject: Re: [44net] New Facebook Group On 12/09/2017 3:36 AM, Lin Holcomb wrote: I disagree, go to a web forum and the group becomes all but unusable for me (assuming I remember to log in, in the first place!).  Best compromise that I can see is to remain here. -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL http://vkradio.com _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)hamradio.ucsd.edu http://hamradio.ucsd.edu/mailman/listinfo/44net
