Re: My new discussion forum

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

2003

It keeps the original formatting. numero = 48643
interpreted = N
texte = I hate to sound like a stick in the mud, but this is not the first WebDNAhelp forum and it will probably not be used as much as we would like.A few months ago I posted an entire site dedicated to WebDNAwww.webdnadev.netIt has areas to allow users to upload scripts, advertise hosting or codingservices, post links to sites they have coded with WebDNA and moreimportantly a WebDNA forum.Overall, the site gets a good amount of hits each day and many of the webDNAcommunity has posted a lot of data up there....with the exception of theForum.I see the same situation with the forum that SMSI placed up there.Unfortunately there just does not seem enough users to warrant a forum rightnow.And even I am guilty of this because if I want a question answered, I placeit on the talk list. The responses are much quicker and plentiful.The only other way I could think of to get questions answered by more usersin the Forum was to email the posted questions to all the users who elect toreceive them or even tie it into my Email List Server. Just need to find away to get the list server replies placed back into the forum for archivalpurposes.Right now you can elect to receive all replies to your post via email for 30days but that does not help you get users to place a reply any quicker.just my 2cents....Brianwww.webdnadev.net----- Original Message -----From: Claude Gelinas To: WebDNA Talk Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 11:51 AMSubject: Re: My new discussion forum> Hi Brian,>> As I'm sure you noticed, we can't send attachments with our messages to> the list so it's tough to share code snippets or even little site> frames.
