Hi Andrea,

sorry for the delay. I was a little bit busy today.

I hope I understood you correctly. Do you mean to log out of the forum, 
i.e. log out as a user or the subject was closed?
For log out from the forum, I have activated this feature. Users can 
also log out of the forum. As soon as you are logged in you will get the 
possibility to log out again in the upper right corner.

We will check it, if it possible to send a message to everyone if a new 
bug or a new feature was reported. In this case, anyone can participate 
in the discussion or provide other valuable information. Basically it 
will be like a mailing list plus.

With the symbols I have to see how it works.

I agree with Andre Gronwald, it's better to use the bug tracker, for 
bugs and feature requests. The mailing list is for common talk or other 
topics, that doesn't fit in the bug tracker.

Here is a summary:

Bug trucker: topics from users, and supporters developers to developers. 
Bugs and feature requests
Forum: Topics by users for users. Questions about everything, tutorials, 
how to use Cinelerra, etc..
Mailing list: All other topics that don't fit above. Users, supporters, 
developers and admins and everyone else can talk about anything without 
a fixed framework.

There are no stupid questions, there are only stupid answers.
You can ask as many questions as you want. Everything is new here and 
therefore your question is absolutely justified.
