For send, read and being permanently informed about new posts, you have several options available:

• Access the forums using its web interface
• Subscribe to the corresponding mailing list.
• Read the posts using the RSS feed associated with every forum/thread and your favourite RSS aggregator (the RSS link is available at the end of each forum/thread)
• Subscribe to the email notifications for new posts or replies.

Using this options is quite intuitive if you are familiar with these tools (webforums/RSS/Mailing lists). In case you need further assistance, keep reading below.

Whe hope these tools will help you to stay tuned with your favourite RetroComputing forums

------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -

Mailing lists:

• Each forum has an associated mailing list, managed by means of Mailman. Forum posts are automatically sent to the mailing list, and the mailing list posts are replicated into the forum. So you can read and write the posts in the forum using both the webforum or the mailing list, at your wish.
• The messages format may not match in both systems (webforum and mailing list). Those diferences, although annoying, are not significant.
• In order to subscribe or modify your subscription to the mailing lists you have to access the following link: http://listas.retroeuskal.org
• If you subscribe to a mailing list and are not yet subscribed to the webforum system, an account is automatically created for you in this system.
• It's quite important that the mail address used to subscribe to a mailing list be equal (just the same) that the mail address used to subscribe to the webforum system.
• The mailing list system does not archive the posts. The main post repository, as well as the permanent announces, are only readable through the webforum system.
• Just as above, you can vote in the proposed pools only through the webforum system.

RSS channels:

• Each forum and thread has an associated RSS channel that you can use to read the threads or posts being posted in the webforum. In order to read those threads or posts you have to use, obviously, an RSS aggregator, as those that you can install in your PC or those accesible via web (as Bloglines.com).
• It's also available an RSS channel for all the messages posted in every forum and thread. It's a nice way for you to get informed about every conversation that could be of your interest.
• You can access each channel using the RSS link () at the footer side of every forum or thread.
• Also, you can create your own RSS channel related to the contents you want and with the presentation you want. For it to work you have only to compose the appropiate RSS feed URL following the instructions at the link by the RSS link () (just at the left side of that link), or in this link.
• RSS channels are publicly accessible. That's why only public forums have RSS channel (and not those private forums).

Email notifications:

• The forums have an email notification system for new posts/threads/replies. This way, you can subscribre to a forum notification to receive an email every time a new thread is created in that forum, or subscribe to a thread and receive an email every time a new post is added to that thread, or receive an email everytime somebody post an reply to any message you post, or even every time a new forum is created in the forum system.
• If not otherwise specified, the user will receive an email notification everytime somebody post a reply to any post of that user. This can be disabled both disabling the "Post notification" checkmark below the post being edited by the user, or permanently through the user profile configuration.
• On the header of every forum/thread is the link you can use to subscribe or unsubscribe to the email notifications for that forum/thread. Also, on the user profile there is a section to view and modify the user active notification subscriptions.

If after reading these instructions you need further assistence, you can write us to:

(obviuosly you have to substitute "_at_" and "_dot_" with "@" and "." characters. Those are the things you have to to i the lost fight against spam )

Hola,

Las "actividades para acompañantes" es el nombre genérico para aquellas actividades que se organicen en RetroEuskal para los acompañantes de los aficionados que se acerquen a Bilbao a disfrutar entre todos de esta afición retro que nos vuelve locos.

Bien conocida es la dificultad que muchos aficionados sufrimos para continuar disfrutando de nuestra afición en eventos como RetroEuskal, principalmente por los compromisos personales o familiares que con el tiempo asumimos: que si la pareja me mata si la dejo sóla un fin de semana en plenas vacaciones, que si no tengo con quien dejar a los niños, etc. Y no, la alternativa no es traerte a tu compañía y "hacerles sufir" en un entorno friki en el que se sientan desplazados y no tengan nada que hacer

Por ello, como en RetroEuskal conocemos nuestros propios problemas como aficionados, y como al mismo tiempo sabemos que nos cuesta mucho decir adios a esta preciosa afición que tantas satisfacciones nos da, hemos decidido dar un paso adelante y ofrecer una solución a todo esto: Traeté a tus acompañantes a Bilbao

RetroEuskal ofrece actividades de turismo y ocio organizados para todos los acompañantes de los aficionados que vengan a RetroEuskal. Tú disfruta en RetroEuskal con tus amigos y máquinas, que RetroEuskal se encarga de que tus acompañantes disfruten de un bonito fin de semana en Bilbao. Por supuesto, si lo deseas, tú también puedes salir del partyplace para relajarte junto a tu compañía

Por supuesto, también se ofrecerá la información y recursos necesarios para que a ti y a tus acompañantes no os cueste llegar hasta Bilbao (o hasta el partyplace), acomodaros en el lugar que mejor se ajuste a vuestras expectativas y capacidades (se intentará contar incluso con alojamiento concertado a precio reducido) y disfrutar de las opciones de turismo y ocio a nivel personal en Bilbao y sus alrededores -una ciudad con grandes posibilidades e infraestucturas para el ocio y el turismo-

Las actividades están por concretar, pero a buen seguro incluirán visitas organizadas y exclusivas para los asistentes y acompañantes a RetroEuskal, con guía profesional de la ciudad. El resto de servicios se comunicarán según se vaya disponiendo de ellas.
Por supuesto, cualquier sugerencia será muy bienvenida por parte de la organización.
