Well, it may have been the way those Discourse Fora had been set up. The
only thing I could get was something very similar to a digest of a ML of
all the articles written.

While that was a huge improvement compared to what a "normal" forum
delivers here it still does not match my working style.

All that had been about 2 or so years ago.

Kind regards,
