ICE mail list or news group

in Comments
Hi ICEers,
I would like to ask are there any plans to organize Ice mail list or news group? IMHO it is more convinient to to read news group and probably it would be possible to forward messages from forum to NG or mail list also.
Thanks,
Andrey.

The problem with mailing lists is that they keep cluttering up my mail box, even when I'm on holidays or when I want to follow only some topics, but not others.
So, overall, the bulletin board seems to be a good solution, at least for the time being.

I can't work out how to do this. Are you sure it is turned on for normal users?
Yes, it's enabled. Go to "user cp", then "Change options". Scroll to the bottom, there you can change your "Avatar".
Okay, don't know how I missed it. Is this better?
If you're still having trouble, send it to me and I'll set it for you.
It was too big. This one ought to work. Not sure that I am actually doing much of a
service to the Ice community by posting my mug though
Uh, oh... Bruce, my monitor just blew up when it got to rendering your image. I think you owe me a 21" Trinitron ;-)
But, seriously, it's good to be able to put a face to the name after all these years!
Cheers,
Michi.
I agree that these forums are better than using a NG for the time being. Perhaps an NG will be more appropriate when Ice has become more mature (e.g buildable with at least TWO commercial Unix compilers) and has a larger user base (say > 2,000 users).

Well here's a twist. Senior management, in their infinite wisdom, have decided
that staff have been making too much use of the internet. So they are removing
web access across the board. We will have a few strategically placed shared
workstations which we can use if we need it.
I know it is hard to believe that a company would come up with such a policy
these days, but there you are.
So, if we could have a mailing list interface to the forum that would be good. Possibly
vbulletin already provide this facility. Or maybe I should find a new employer...
