Обсуждение: weird navigation in the mailing lists section
Hi ! I got confused this morning while looking for a subscribe form for a particular psql-* mailing list. Here's the scenario: 1- I go to: http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/ 2- I click on archives first because I want to check the content of the list I am interested in before subscribing and because I am told "Before posting to a list, you may wish to search the archives." :) 3- Now I am here : http://www.postgresql.org/list/ and from this page there's no simple way to go back to the subscribe form. The sub-menu on the left has changed (why ?) and the subscribe link disappeared. From the archives, the best way to accomplish is to click on "community" in the navbar and then go back in the mailing list section to subscribe. Basically I think it should be easier to subscribe from the archives. Maybe just put back the subscribe item in the sub menu of http://www.postgresql.org/list/ or add a specific subscribe link next to each mailing list name. -- damien

Yes, this needs work. Basically, the first URL you show has: Mailing Lists Subscribe Archives When you click on "Archives", "Subscribe" disappears, which is certainly odd. When you click on "Subscribe", "Archives" does not disappear. I have discussed this with Magnus, and I think he said that area needs work. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. +
