Hi !
Yes, it is! At first, you are confronted with the nag-screen, leading to the paid support. You have to register for the support, even you've just registered, for example, to another nabble-hosted list. It's just support and direct contact to the hoster. If you make 20 years internet like me, you'll probable reached that level of registrations, which cannot be longer handled in a senseful manner. Althoug I started with bulletin boards and I am registered to a countless number of mailing-lists, nothing is really good with them. You will see spam, even registering is necessary. They just need hours to be processed and if finally something strands in your inbox, you start organizing them all. The internet, since about 10 or more yeras, has a really nice answer, which is named mostly:forum! Fast, with more features, simple organized mostly in tree-views. You may possibly cannot login, because noone is writing on the registration page, what the sender lastly will be. I just shortly registered for a list and passed the registration process, then posted a message. Now it is pending !!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, what is the registration process is finally for?? To lead you to paid support, with normal internet speed. The registration process is further bad in that, that there is no indicator, if a captcha is recognized as case-sensive or not. The next error is there. This is all, because everyone who hears "internet", gets $$$ eyes and create fastly some new silliness. So I feel with nabble support. And belive me, if I had no need for it, I would avoid it, like the devil the wholy water. That the internet starts stinking is not new. Just my two pence, waiting for a simple message pass to a list. On each up-tp date forum, it would be there since hours. regards++mabra |
Hi mabra, thanks for your message. See my comments below.
The link to the free support forum is there, available to anyone. People that want responsive attention from the Nabble team can pay a cheap fee. This is how all forums on the Internet work. We had shared login in the past, but we changed that in order to give forum administrators more power. Besides that, people still can post as anonymous users, so registration is optional. Nabble is just a gateway to the mailing list. What the system does is send an email on your behalf to the mailing list. This is the same as sending an email from your inbox. In both cases, you must subscribe to the mailing list and there is nothing Nabble can do to simplify this. The registration is required because the system will send emails to you (about new replies, etc.). In the mailing list case above, the system uses your email to send the message to the mailing list (on your behalf), so we need your email. If you think this is bad, then maybe you could explain how to solve this problem without registration. The captcha field accepts only uppercase chars, so there is no confusion here. Nabble is free since 2005, when it was founded. We added the premium support a few months ago as a way to filter support issues and optimize our time. |
