Hi, I'm new here. I tried to post (about a problem I have with OpenScad not collapsing the code correctly) earlier today by using the 'Post New Thread' button, but it does not seem to be visible. Is there a waiting period for new members or something like that? Thank you very much, Mik Sent with Proton Mail secure email.

Hi Mik, Welcome. You were not subscribed earlier, I got your subscription notification ~10m prior to your recent email. Unsubscribed posts fade into the ether. This is primarily a Mailing-list. That 'Empathy' is the archive, and while the underlying email records are there, Empathy is full of bugs. What you see there is often poorly threaded* (posts will be under other subjects), badly formatted, including changed source code examples, and doesn't handle MIME formatted styles messages. Empathy is a fallback at best. *See 'Re: Forum' and the rest hidden under 'minkowski + mesh is not closed' (here <https://lists.openscad.org/empathy/thread/QXFAVXJYWSJHKI7ZLSP32WB7WLCLWY4A?hash=FKLZQTN3AI4LVX2APKB2YL6G5FCWATU6#FKLZQTN3AI4LVX2APKB2YL6G5FCWATU6> ), as good example of bad everything & why we don't have a 'forum' style interface ATM. You should send an email to discuss@lists.openscad.org from your email client. For a new topic, please create a new email rather then 'Rely' and changing the subject. It helps with the poor threading. Only use The Web post if you have email issues, it also has a bug which publicly posts under your email address not your name. You will have to resend your question.
