I forgot to advise that the pg offline software should be
set up to download so many messages and then pause for a while.
I have a pretty fast link and I have it set to download 1000 messages and
then wait for 5 minutes.
It takes a while to download the first set (of 18000) but then any
ensuing ones would be very fast.
I'm not sure how much time I can spend helping support another support
area -- we already have this which is supposed to be peer to peer and our
premier one which is the helpdesk. I would try but can't
promise.
I've seen the phpbb forums -- not sure if they support files area such as
Yahoo Groups. And sometimes I have a hard time finding things
there. And, of course, then there is the email messages vs having
to actually go to the forum or subscribe to a thread.
Do you all realize that yahoo does try to thread the messages? This
shows up easily from web view. I think it shows up in fully
featured and to some extent in the digest forms.
