I use my own homebrew news & mail reader but xananews is one of the more popular out there and its free and written in Delphi.

I think that discussion mechanisms are very important for a lot of products, where there is a bigger community that can help. Case in point being that jrsoftware.org seems to be offline at the moment, so the newsgroups and web for Inno Setup is unavailable. I cannot find a twitter ID for the project or anyone. Is it dead, or what? So my first thought was to look at the Embarcadero groups, where Inno is popular and often recommended. Nope, no real discussion there.

I do ponder whether Tim should create a general Elevate technical discussion group, registered people only, that can be ignored by Tim and we can discuss things like this that relate indirectly to Elevate tools. Or is there a better place for dev talk now?

I looked at that, but didn't feel it my place to hassle individually. A twitter or other public place would be fine I feel.

We're doing a web site overhaul soon, and one of things that I'm wanting to do is combine the support forums a bit, so I'll see what I can do.  It all depends upon how easy it will be to change to a organization of the site that doesn't revolve around categorizing by product.
