We're moving the NetNewsWire for Mac and NetNewsWire for iPhone forums over to Google Groups.

Here's the URL of the new Mac forum:

http://groups.google.com/group/netnewswire-mac

And the URL of the new iPhone forum:

http://groups.google.com/group/netnewswire-iphone

I'm sorry about the inconvenience of having to sign up for a new thing, but the benefits of using Google Groups should outweigh the inconvenience. (And many of you probably already have a Google account.)

You might ask: "Why move the forum?"

While we would have been happy to host this forum forever, I *personally* don't like web-based forums. I've been using this system for four years and have never been really adapted to it, and so my own participation is nowhere near what I'd like.

But I do *great* with email.

So the cool thing about Google Groups is that you can choose: use the web, use email, or both.

See you on the flip side.

Doesn't the whole world love Google?

But really, that we moved the forum to Google Groups is coincidence -- the real thing is that I prefer email to web-based forums. And I'm sure you'd rather I reply to stuff than not-reply.

No, not really.

I'd prefer you fix problems and stop removing features people use. This entire transition has been the most botched example of customer support I've experienced in the long time. And now I have to go to yet another place to get info on basic things like when, or if, the $9.99 price expires and what versions that covers.
