Google Groups Discussion Forums
BASIS is now using Google Groups for all online discussion forums. In order to participate in the BASIS Google Group online discussions please complete the following:
For new subscribers: To participate in any of our online discussion create a Google Account. To create an account access groups.google.com and select "Sign In" in the upper right hand corner and then select "Create an Account". Create this new Google Group account using your current email address, this address is the one you wish to receive emails from any BASIS list.
Once you have completed signing up for a Google account click the link:
For existing list members: Create a Google Account. To create an account access groups.google.com and select "Sign In" in the upper right hand corner and then select "Create an Account". Create this new Google Group account using your current email address, the address you are currently using for any of the BASIS lists.
This will enable you to receive any posts to the group to your email address. You will also gain the ability to set your email options for delivery (emails or web) and [Subject line tagging] will be enabled
When sending a message to the group use (list-name@basis.com) to send to the group. When you reply to a message it will automatically be posted to the group and viewable via the web interface.
NOTE: When replying to an email, the email address is different than the address you sent to. This is OK since you are a member of the group. As stated above, for ease of use we are redirecting all list-name@basis.com emails to the group.
Discussion Forums Background
BASIS maintains a number of online discussion forums for our customers. Our customers hold a wealth of knowledge and are happy to share it with you. Many of them have been developing in BBx for years; some have been with us from the beginning in 1985. If you are new to BASIS, we urge you to join one or several of these forums and take advantage of the expertise our customers have to offer.
The Rules
These forums are intended as vehicles for open communication and knowledge sharing among our Customers. As such, most of them are not formally monitored by BASIS personnel. The descriptions that follow this section indicate whether BASIS monitors a particular forum. Developers should not consider the BASIS monitored forums to be means of requesting BASIS Technical Support.
If you need a question answered directly by BASIS Technical Support, you should contact our Technical Support staff.
We expect all participation in these forums to be civil. We will not tolerate foul language or threats to other people, and you could be permanently barred from participating if you violate this. Because of the business use of these forums we ask that you please stick to the topic and refrain from sending jokes and other off-topic messages.
