Dear Listers,
I'm very proud to announce a completely new BBS interface is now available
for all of the Email Lists at Matronics! This is a full-featured system
that allows for viewing, posting, attachments, polls - the works.
But the best part is that it is *completely* integrated with all of the
existing email tools currently available at Matronics! What this means at
the most basic level is that, if you post a message to List from Email in
the traditional way, it will show up on the BBS system *and* get distributed
to everyone currently subscribed to the Email List. By the same token, if
you are on the BBS and post a message to a given List-Forum, the message
will not only show up on the BBS, but also be distributed to everyone on the
Email List!!
It is really a very nice implementation and I am very pleased with its
operation. All of the tools you have come to know and love such as the List
Search Engine and List Browse and Download will still be available and
contain all of the latest posts. Think of the new BBS interface as just
another method of accessing the all of the Lists.
You can use the BBS to view all of the latest posts without having to do
anything except use your browser to surf over to the site. You can view and
look at all of the various List's posts. If you want to post a new message
or reply to an existing message from the BBS, you will have to Register on
the BBS. This is a *very* simple process and will only take a couple of
minutes. There is a small icon in the upper righthand side of the main BBS
page labeled "Register" to get you started.
I strongly recommend that you use the exact *same* email address you are
subscribed to the Email Lists with when registering on the BBS. Also, while
not an absolute requirement, I would really appreciate it if people would
use their full name when choosing their Username on the BBS (for example
"Matt Dralle"). This just makes it easier for everyone to know who's
posting. Also, I have enabled the ability to upload a small user picture
with your profile called an "avatar". Please use a *real* picture of
yourself *with* your cloths on! Thank you! Maximum size of the bitmap is
120x120.
You can either be subscribed to the BBS, or any number of Email Lists, or
both. Registering on the BBS will allow you to email directly to all of the
various Lists. However, to receive direct List Email, you will need to be
*subscribed* to the various Lists as you have in the past. No changes here
in operation. I have added numerous links on the BBS pointing to the Email
List subscription page.
I've had the BBS connected to the Lists for about a week now, so its already
loaded up with a fair number of messages. You can post photos and other
documents directly to the BBS and links to them will appear in the List
Email distributions. Also, when any messages posted to the BBS are viewed
in the List Email distribution, there will be a URL link at the bottom of
the message pointing back to the BBS.
And here's what you've been waiting for -- the main URL for the new
Matronics Email List BBS is:
http://forums.matronics.com
Please surf on over, Register, and have a great time! I think this will be
the dawn of a whole new era for the Lists at Matronics!
Best regards,
Matt Dralle
