A quick update from the Discourse evaluation site - The topic **Using Dyneema on a Nonsuch** has gathered about a dozen postings. If you’re interested, it’s here: [https://n26-115-233.discourse.group/t/using-dyneema-on-a-nonsuch/164](https://n26-115-233.discourse.group/t/using-dyneema-on-a-nonsuch/164) and there is a follow-up topic here: [https://n26-115-233.discourse.group/t/scissors-for-dyneema-cored-line/278](https://n26-115-233.discourse.group/t/scissors-for-dyneema-cored-line/278) Also of potential interest (either new or with additional postings - you can see the topic name in the web address) - [https://n26-115-233.discourse.group/t/shaft-coupling-rusted-30-c/271](https://n26-115-233.discourse.group/t/shaft-coupling-rusted-30-c/271) [https://n26-115-233.discourse.group/t/chafing-caused-by-bungee-snubbers/204/23](https://n26-115-233.discourse.group/t/chafing-caused-by-bungee-snubbers/204/23) ---

One thing that this experiment with Discourse has quickly shown me is that posting in Discourse is so much easier than in the Google Discussion Group. I really feel the difference, especially whenever I want to add a picture or edit to correct something I’ve recently posted. – Bob Me Gusta Nonsuch e26U #233 ---

How is it easier then just sending an email with an attachment?? Joe Valinoti S/V iL Gatto NS30U #221 Sea Harbour YC Oriental, NC USA ```auto ``` ---

Joe, Email attachments always go at the end, so you can’t add comments to each one. You can drag and drop photos into the body of the email you are writing, so you can add comments to the photo. Discourse takes it a step further - you can drag and drop the photos into the text area and resize them if you want. You get to see exactly how the posting will look before you save it, and get to go back and make corrections if need be. **(But - if you prefer to post using email with attachments, you can still do that)** Jon Lewit N26 #115 - Inua - Kingston, NY ---

The other thing Discourse lets me do with images is make it easy to insert images which are screengrabs that I cut and paste in. With Google, at least the web interface to the Discussion Group, they have to be attachments. Often, I want to explain something using information I found on a website. To do that with Google, I have to take a screenshot, save it as a file, go over to the post I’m trying to create, remember where I saved that file, and ask it to upload that file. With Discourse, I take a screenshot and paste it into the post. Fewer steps, less to remember, no files cluttering up my computer that I have no need for after the post. As Jon pointed out, Discourse doesn’t stop people from using email with attachments. It just gives me an additional, simpler way I can also do it. – Bob Me Gusta Nonsuch e26U #233 ---

I just save and paste the URL in an email. I’m using an email client, so maybe that’s why it’s so easy for me. Joe Valinoti S/V iL Gatto NS30U #221 Sea Harbour YC Oriental, NC USA ```auto ```
