Hi Kynx, Yes, I can remove the account if you want, but you should not be getting the messages anymore. Sorry for the trouble caused. When we updated our system on 4/20 we introduced a problem with unwanted mails going to members. This has been corrected. With the new system you have two ways to get forum updates - either using the mailing list option under the My Page to get all updates on all issues to forums or other tools. Or, you can subscribe to an individual thread. And, the mail text to say how to unsubscribe is from the thread is in the process of being corrected. Again, sorry for the trouble and let me know if you get any unwanted mails from our system. Tim

Let me know if you're still running into issues and I can perform your search using the new search routine and get you the results. Thanks, Tim

Hi Olivier, Thanks for the feedback, it is really helpful and we appreciate it. We've added links on the 'how to report a bug' page to the various project trackers. All work on the site is done in a project context with JasperReports, iReport, JasperServer & JasperAnalysis, and JasperETL being our major core projects. Each project has a set of tools specific to that project and some projects (like JasperReports or iReport) are a lot more active than some of the smaller projects. Project tools typically include forums, issue tracker, wiki, document sharing, and a file release area, although project admins can turn tools on or off as needed. From your My Page, if you select My Lists you'll get a list of projects that you can monitor. If you select a project name, you'll be presented with a list of the mailing lists for that project and you can select "subscribe" to receive email notifications for every action taken on the tool in that project. We're looking to replace mailing lists with RSS feeds in our next release and would be interested to have input on monitoring preference from the community; email, RSS, or both. Alternatively, you can select 'save and monitor' when placing a forum post to receive an email notification anytime a reply is posted to that specific thread. Agreed on the registration form, we have a lighter weight version of the registration process that should make it easier to negotiate. I anticipate that will hit the site in January. Again, thank you for the feedback. Tim PS - This page has some quick links to the core projects and resources that may be of help in navigating the site, http://jasperforge.org//submenu_displaypage.php?topactd=20.
