I really like the lightweight nature of blog comments, as I don't want people to feel that I'm setting up barriers to their getting help. However, their unthreaded nature means it's difficult to hold three threads of conversation at once. So, I'm proposing a change. I'll be closing that thread for comments at some point in the near future, and I've set up a small set of forums at forums.fibble.org to handle all tech support and general help around my scripts. They do require a sign-up process to use, but I promise I'll do nothing with your information - it's strictly a barrier against spam.

So, we'll see how it goes. If it seems people continue to use the blog more than the forums, I may go back to the blog support model. Feedback gratefully accepted, of course.
