Unofficial GnuCash Forum

[YeOldHinnerk]

Hi,

well, I've used both and have to admit, I much prefer the forum. Why?

- When I need help, I go to a well fitting forum and ask. I will receive
notifications when someone answers, anyone who googles this issue finds my
question - and if everyone is ignoring my problem I'll notice even that, as
I can see, how often the issue was even looked at. 

- I get all the posts from the mailing list and they are immediately moved
to their folder. Most of it is, from my very personal point of view, just
noise. I don't like receiving mails about issues I don't care about. I
understand that this is different for developers. Again, in a forum, I just
casually ignore other threads.

- Forums groups topics properly. This would make good sense for Gnucash as
well. Have one subforum for GUI, one for buisness, one for budgets,...  
also trouble with the latest version would be in one place and also if they
are fixed. 

I also agree to the distincition of place where users are and types of help.
I think really, that many people are unable to get help, since the don't
even know what a mailing list is. And it doesn't help, that one considers
mailing list superior, if you have a much more limited outreach. 

Unfortuneatly I don't have much hope for a forum, the resistence from the
people who are most competent with Gnucash is just too high. However, there
is another way to get support and not bother with the mailing list - IRC.
And I have always found support there is absolutely top class. Thank you!

Best,

YeOldHinnerk
