insight 

Some of the readers of this blog may be aware that we have been running a consultation on whether we should switch our member’s mailing list to a web-based forum. There has been quite some debate on the issue and with two weeks to run the poll is currently split 50:50 on whether we should make the switch or leave things as they are.

A third way has been suggested / requested by several. This would be an integrated web-based forum and email list solution. We’ve been looking into this possibility for some time and have as yet to find a solution that matches our requirements. If anyone out there has experience of reliable, well-tested solutions to this issue we’d be interested to hear about them.

If you’re one of our members and haven’t responded and feel strongly about the issue, then do please let us know by responding to the online survey here:
