[pianotech] New List

[John Formsma]

Ah, sorry I misunderstood. I'm not surprised you're having problems--the new
system pretty much sucks. :)

Might be a login issue that some in the user forum were discussing recently.

I'm not in favor of patches and workarounds. I want the whole discussion
forum side to be something else. If we want to keep my.ptg.org to make
inter-chapter discussions easier, that's fine with me. It will work OK for
that.
