How to participate Tips
 
Anyone can read or post messages on the Message Board. The first time you post, you'll be asked to register an e-mail address and name. This information is used in the operation of the message board and will not be given to any third party.

By participating you will find out what other people are doing with Euphoria, and you will be able to solve Euphoria problems for yourself and for others. RDS participates as well, and everyone benefits from lively and informative discussions. These discussions are archived so you can retrieve them at any time.

We also have two RSS feeds. The first has a brief summary of the last 8 messages. Just the Subject, Author and the first sentence or two for each message. It could be used on a customized news page such as MyYahoo, or perhaps as a FireFox Live Bookmark.

The second feed holds the full text of all messages for the past day or two. If you check the feed at least once per day, you are unlikely to miss anything. It works nicely with Thunderbird, Opera, and other RSS readers that display RSS items as e-mail messages. Compared to Topica e-mail delivery (below), it is faster and more reliable, the messages are always in order, and they come with nice fonts and syntax coloring. Links are provided in each message for posting replies via the Message Board. In Thunderbird, it might be better to choose "display article summary", rather than loading the Web page.

 
Try to stay on the topic of Euphoria or closely-related issues. The moderator, a sophisticated software filter developed by RDS, may block distribution of an off-topic message.
 
The Message Board displays the most recent messages. The Search facility (above) will let you read all messages going back several years.
 
Use Change Settings to record a signature to be inserted at the end of your messages.
 
Once you have read a message, the color of the link to that message will change from red to gray.
 
If your Internet time is limited, or you are paying by the minute, you can download all messages for the current month. Previous months are stored as YYYYMM.TXT, e.g. http://www.OpenEuphoria.org/mlist/200504.TXT You might also want to try RSS, or Topica e-mail delivery as described below.
 
Optional use of e-mail  
   
If you wish to use e-mail to send and receive EUforum messages, you can use the Topica EUforum Mailing List. The Message Board and Mailing List are linked. Messages posted to one will appear on the other.

 
 Subscribing to Topica
 
If you wish to use e-mail to send and receive EUforum messages, send a blank e-mail message to:
 
EUforum-subscribe@topica.com
 
Note: There is no need to complete Topica's sign-up form.
 
After subscribing, you can e-mail a message to:
 
EUforum@topica.com
 

It will appear first on the message board, and then be distributed via e-mail.

 
If Topica receives "bounce" messages back from your address for a few days in a row, your address will be unsubscribed automatically. Feel free to resubscribe when the problem is resolved.

Some systems, such as Hotmail, have spam filters that can interfere with messages coming from Topica. Please disable these filters, either in general, or specifically for Topica.

 
Due to the nature of e-mail, messages that pass through Topica are subject to delays and may arrive out of order. In addition, Topica shuts down periodically for maintenance.

It is always faster and more reliable to use the Message Board or RSS. Messages always appear first on the Message Board and RSS, and are later distributed via Topica e-mail.

 
 
Getting off the Topica list
 
To unsubscribe (stop receiving messages from Topica), send a blank e-mail message to:
EUforum-unsubscribe@topica.com
 
Be sure to send it from the same e-mail address you used when you subscribed with Topica. You can also click the EASY UNSUBSCRIBE link at the end of each message.
 
Digests
 
To reduce the clutter in your inbox, you can arrange to have digests, delivered to your inbox. Each digest will contain a set of 10 messages. You can expect to receive 2 or 3 digests per day.

After subscribing, send a blank message to

EUforum-request-digest@topica.com
 
This will reduce the number of e-mail messages arriving in your inbox. The disadvantage is that you won't be able to respond as quickly to messages that other people post. To resume individual message delivery, send a blank e-mail to:
EUforum-request-messages@topica.com
