The New PMUG Member Forum
Members may read and post questions in PMUG's new member forum, now in the members' area. This works like the old Bulletin Board System, and similar to how PMUG's Yahoo! Groups page worked.
Enter the PMUG Member Forum
As a bonus, you can be alerted to new topics and replies to specific message by subscribing to either general topic or message-specific RSS feeds.
NOTE: The forum's RSS Feeds require RSS readers which support username/password authentication, such as NetNewsWire and Apple Mail (the version which comes with Mac OS X 10.5+.) You will be asked to enter your members' area username and password, and you should enable password saving for that specific feed.
NOTE: Members who wish to use the autosubscribe feature of their RSS Reader should use this page:
