John, sounds like you're running into a couple of issues with signup - will you send me an email separately? I'm an admin and will do my best to get your account set up. 

Clive, please let us know if you do run into any issues with the forum and your screen reader! If you like, you can also set up your account so you get an hourly, daily, or weekly digest email with new forum topics so you don't have to remember to check in. It's under Preferences, then Emails. You'll have to log in once every 180 days to refresh the 'are you still listening?' timer and keep the emails coming, just FYI. 

Gregor, yes! Definitely more searchable, both from Google and the forum itself. 

If anyone else is running into issues or wants to talk about the decision to move to a forum versus the mailing list, feel free to respond here or shoot me an email.

Another problem I seem to have is that your forum does not work with
my password manager -- I am using lastpass.
