Mailing List broken?

Post by Hirazi Blue » 03 Apr 2015, 12:50

After a couple of days of apparent inactivity, which I blamed on the EOL,
today I sent a test mail to the Softimage Mailing List that didn't get through,
making me wonder if the Mailing List software itself has broken down?
Stay safe, sane & healthy!

It's possible, but it'll have to wait until Tuesday to be looked at by IT, because of Easter

The last post I can see is from the 1st of April (ironic?). The subject is "ICE Custom ICE Data type not exposing in compound?" and it was sent by Raffaele.

Has everybody migrated already, leaving nothing left to say about Softimage, or is the Mailing List down again? ;)

Well ;)
All features are known, no newcomers who learn the software and need some answers. So somehow, everything is said.
Could invest some time taking a look into Facerobot, but it makes more sense for me to just continue using maya

Actually still just now my post didn't go though (maybe just me?)

And even if Maya has had considerable improvements, people going on with Soft (until further notice) is probably because the edge it has had, is not just kinda still had ;)

Maya Constuction stack?, Render Layers?, soup nodes (compared to Rray)? among a number of other things..

Quite a few say, 'not yet' (until further notice or until better things to come)


Edit: Just saw Luc-Erics post, so it wasn't not just me : ) thanks!

Well no one questioned that, we just questioned if there's still anything to say about Soft :D

As a mail of mine didn't get through, it would seem the Mailing List is down yet again and Autodesk is trying to tell us something...

edit: after my mail there has been some activity on the Mailing List, so it probably isn't broken, its just my mail and Autodesk is trying to tell ME something...

if you want to check if the mail service is up without polluting the list with "test" mails, you can just send mail to
softimage-request@listproc.autodesk.com with the subject "help". if you get no response, the server is down. These mails won't be posted to the list

Thanks for the tip.
I just resent my mail (a serious one, not a test BTW) and it didn't stick either,
while others seem to be able to reach the list without problems...
