not if you use jiveThe trade off is that we loose some of the features of a exclusively web
based forum system.

on the other hand, you could have a hybrid for all public groups.
and use web only for future beta groups, and/or private groups.

I think it would be a good idea to have a qdn.public.qnxrtp.photon.swt
group, to
ask photon related SWT questions. Anyone else agree ?

That's no excuseWe have many client companies that block NNTP at their firewall ...
The rumors to move to web based forums are not completely unfounded, but
the
decision is not final as far I am concerned. We may do both.
Your feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,

As I mentioned in another post few weeks ago, QSS is going to dump
this NNTP based service and replace it with a web based forum.
They probably will consider your suggestion for the new forum, but
I doubt they will spend more time enhancing the inn.qnx.com

If anybody cares, I'd certainly vote against moving from NNTP to a web
based forum!!! I've never seen ANY web based forum that was anywhere
near as user friend as a news reader, and I've seen a quite a number of
them. My experience is that I finally give up and decide that my time
is too valuable to waste messing with yet another failed attempt to
improve on NNTP.
