From: Joe on 28 May 2010 14:02 Hi Tom, I know most people posting in NNTP don't really like the web forum formats. Personally I like *some* of them but not all. What I really don't understand about the MS web forums is that it is almost as if they have been intentionally designed to be difficult. From a usability, navigation, and speed standpoint they are probably some of the worst I have ever seen. You will see me on lots of forums across the web...but not so much the MS ones until or unless they are improved dramatically. -- Best, Joe FrontPage and Expression Web Forums: http://www.timeforweb.com/frontpage/forum/default.asp "Tom Willett" <tom(a)youreadaisyifyoudo.com> wrote in message news:uJK2EB0#KHA.5464(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Ah, hi Joe! nice to see you again.

Your welcome Joe its the only forum I know of that will cover fp and ew is moderated well and the questions get answered. (not withstanding I admin a forum elsewhere but i get no help (or contact) from the owner so don't feel the need to work hard at something that benefits someone else... they shall remain nameless sigh) I do maintain my own lists for frontpage and expression web and since its a steady family of users .... its much more comfortable I find. There is also a specific fp genealogy one i know of and another list which is as old as mine and another good expression web list but its google based and i find the interface clunky ... mine are yahoo based and can be email or interface based. For those that like lists here they are. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/frontpage/ (I own) has ew mvps Pat Geary, Cheryl Wise and ex mvp James Huggins as mods plus two others Martha and Steven) http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/microsoft-expression-web/ (I own) (has Pat Geary as mod) http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gearyfamily/expression-web/list.html (pat geary owns - i mod) http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gearyfamily/frontpage/ (pat geary owns - i mod) http://groups.google.com/group/by-expression-web-designer/ (Cheryl Wise owns - i mod) http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/fplist/ (James huggins mods) Tina Contest to WIN Expression Web 3.0 18th - 31st May Make a simple 404 page design - you don't have implement it. http://www.expression-web.net/expression-web-404-contest/ Extended to 6th June closing date "Joe" <munged(a)yesitisfrontiernet.net> wrote in message news:8751C00C-1743-40D5-8A21-9B4DD1869CB6(a)microsoft.com... > Thanks for the kind words about the forum Tina! > > While there isn't much I can do about a NNTP newsgroup format, I can at > least offer up the web forum format for anyone that would like to ask (and > especially answer) any questions. > > Anyone that would like to participate.... come on over! :-) > > -- > Best, > Joe > > FrontPage and Expression Web Forums: > http://www.timeforweb.com/frontpage/forum/default.asp > > "Tina Clarke" <TinaClarke(a)any-expression.com> wrote in message > news:ubwJN#2#KHA.1892(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> Joe Rohn has a great forum >> http://www.timeforweb.com/frontpage/forum/ >> >> I have always spread myself around lists and forums but I like the >> newsgroup as its much like a list I have one for frontpage and one for >> expression web. >> >> The Answers forum I belive will contain works photodraw and frontpage? >> >> Still there is a bright side..... if you can't find the answer to your >> problem it will encourage a learning process...which will result in >> better websites. >> >> There is always an outlet for everything ... just like some hosts still >> support fpse. >> >> Tina >> http://accessfp.net/ - FrontPage Tutorials >> http://anyfrontpage.com/ - http://frontpage-ebooks.com/ >> http://addonfp.com/ - FrontPage Addons >> http://frontpage-tips.com/ - Weekly FrontPage Tips >> http://msmvps.com/blogs/frontpage/ - FrontPage News Blog >> >> http://www.expression-web.net - Expression Blog >> http://any-expression.com/ - Expression Web Help >> http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/any-expression/ - Expression Web Ezine > |
