Re: Citect SCADA Users Forum??

I am not a Citect user, so I would not be a participant. However, if
there are enough Citect users, and perhaps employees or integrators,
there could always be a use for an unofficial forum.

There are several easy to set up forum methods. I use a Network54
forum on my site, www.jashaw.com. The link to the forum is near the
bottom of the page just below the book ads. It provides a fully
threaded forum with the ability for the owner to remove inappropriate
postings. At the bottom of the forum page is a link to set up your
own. The only problem is that it is paid for by annoying popup ads.

It is also easy to set up a forum using Yahoo groups
(groups.yahoo.com). They are not threaded, but the ads are less
annoying. They can be moderated or unmoderated.

If you are willing to do the work and can get enough interest, I
suggest that you do it.
