Drew,

we are authorizing registrations manually.  Normally I delete duplicate 
registrations to keep the database clean.  However, if
you wish to register with a second email address, just let me know and i will 
allow that.

Be aware, however, that even though the forums are able to be viewed by the 
public, registrations are required to be able to
post.  To avoid any conflicts of interest we automatically screen out any 
registrations that are not from a corporate id.  If
your second registration is not your company nor an industry organization email 
address, you need to contact me before
registering so we can accommodate your request.

Linda,

Regarding #3;  Is there a way to receive posts/replies at more than one e-mail 
address?
I know I am not the only one who is set up this way on the [PCB_FORUM].

 Andrew et all,

Please help me better understand your issue here.

this is how to use the cdnusers.org forums the most efficiently:
        1. on the log in screen check the box "remember me"
        2. Subscribe to the PCB Design forum and any other forum in which you 
are interested, by checking the box at the top of
the appropriate forum (after logging in) "Email me when someone posts to this 
forum"
        3. Wait to receive the next post directly to your email program on your 
desktop, moments after it is posted. (no
screening by Cadence or any moderator)
        4. Click on the link in the email you received.  This will take you 
directly to the website and to that post, you do not
have to log in since you clicked on "remember me" you are automatically logged 
in, even if it is many days since you first
logged in.
        5. Click on "reply" and write your response in the window that opens
        6. Click "submit"

This seems to me to meet your criteria of "information comes to me"

Every post, or ALL of the information, comes directly to you from any forum to 
which you are subscribed.

The subject line now includes the forum from which the post originates and the 
thread subject of the post.  This should allow
for filtering.

Hi Michael,
I've looked at the interface on the cdn site, and it serves its purpose.
It may also serve many who choose to visit, as threads are consolidated to 
subject matter.

I think that the main issue that people have with that site is that it is a 
'user goes to' site, rather than 'information comes
to me' service that freelists provides. And I mean ALL the information comes to 
me, and I can filter it out any way I choose. 

So, in my opinion, I don't think the majority of us actually use the freelists 
interface. We receive and send through our email
accounts. The interface at freelists isn't even an issue of comparison.

Thanks Andy..  One final note.. Everything that has been discussed is being 
looked at..  I take this very very seriously and
will do whatever is good for the user community and the PCB Forum.  If it is 
staying on Freelists.org then so be it but I still
think everyone should at least give the cdnusers.org a look see before we 
immediately say it will never work.

Do you really think the web interface on Freelists.org is better than the 
cdnusers.org forums ?  Just wondering ?

Mike

Hi all,

Let me try to bring end to this thread. First of all, I think this forum is 
great the way it is and works.

If CDNusers.org can provide the same functionality ... Great! If not ...
Well that is just to bad?

Logging on to a website to respond to an email is ridiculous. Ever heard of 
email tools such as MS Outlook?

I don't want to tell the web team at Cadence what to do, but I suggest that 
they take a look at Encartis (see freelists.org) if
they are seriously interested in making this work.

Anyway, if users like to create their own forum they will do so, no matter how 
hard you try to prevent this.

Having said all that, I don't think it is in the best interest of the users 
that this forum moves or is being closed.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This list will stay active and I will continue to maintain/own it.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To the CDNLive team,

We can continue the discussion about moving to CDNusers.org if CDNUsers.org can 
provide the same functionality as requested in
so many emails by the subscribers of this forum.

This list will stay alive until further notice!!!

Thanks, Mike!

Hello Andreas,

I have a few questions and I'll understand if you prefer not to answer:

Are you committed to (eventually) closing this forum?

If yes, will any amount of pleading by the users to keep it open change your 
mind?

If not, would you consider passing on ownership to someone who wants to keep it 
running?

Regards,

Bill
