I would assume the email will shortly dwindle...

Sort of correct. If you post, and you want the board to notify you via email when someone replies, that is optional here. Just click the appropriate checkbox when you post. This is for new posts only.

I will add a hack soon that allows you to be notified of ANY replies to ANY thread you participate in, whether you started the thread or not. I just need a few more days for that one.

Hope this helps.

I certainly hope not... I liked the email format the best. I often saved messages that contained good info over the years. Trying to do that same thing here is a royal pain in the backside.
Another reason is that I could forward the emails or read them from any pop program or re-route them to anywhere else... often to places that forbade internet access via browsers.

Recently OQCHP has also done the same thing. It was a fabulous first 3 days before things petered down to almost nothing. If that is an example of what is to happen here, its not going to be very promising unless people really pull together and post meaningful topic specific messages that are interesting to users.

Just my 2 cents ( and we all know the value of Canadian currency lately anyways).

Jerry you forgot to say Hi first!!!

Well, in here you can simply email yourself a link directly to the post of interest and save that in your email. Less bulk, and easier to search because you can give it any topic subject you want.

Plus this has a better, faster search and you can always refer back to it later. I'm not taking it down, so you will always have access to everything ever posted here.

This only works in topics where you post or flag, but doesn't apply to that new and interesting topic that someone else starts elsewhere. More or less, people are forced to come here to at the very least flag topics that catch their eye. That or miss a potentially good thread.

Yup. I felt the trade-offs were well worth it. Yahoo was slow, inefficient, and full of spam ads. This is much cleaner and we can share more here with the use of pictures and easier links. This is more friendly and community-like than Yahoo. I'm sorry you don't like it, Jerry, but this is the best way to go IMO right now.

Dammit Janet!
