==Reporting problems with the contact applications==For problems relating to the Gramps site and the applications used to support Gramps, contact the [mailto:[email protected] Webmaster] or raise the issue on the developer maillist described below. ==Mailing lists==Mailing Lists, also known as MailLists, are (often uncensored & unmoderated) systems of exchanging mass Email messages. The messages from validated subscribers are also archived and made available for searching. <!--**The following part is 'too much introductory detail'for this overview level "Contact" page. Storing as a comment as fodder for a future "What is a MailList and how do I use it" page. ** eMail messages are addressed to the MailList and then (if from a valid subscriber) mass-forwarded to a constantly changing list of subscribers. Subscribers can opt to have individual messages delivered immediately or collated into digests delivered periodically. The validated messages are also archived and made available for searching. The typical method of joining a MailList is by 'Due opt-in' (manually subscribing) or 'opt-out' (being automatically added by a data-scraper). Gramp maillist are strictly 'opt-in'. An eMail thread is a set of email messages that includes all the replies in direct response to a specific posted eMail message. Threads are historically reconstructed digests of the Reply sequence. Searches of the archives may return Flat digests (all messages, sequenced be order posted), Threaded digests (all messages, sequenced a tree showing which message spawned each reply), or in snapshots (one message at a time). --> There are several older mailing lists on various topics related to spam attacks consuming Gramps ( but we recommend joining the forum below): *;gramps-announce ([https://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps/lists/gramps-announce unsubscribe/subscribe], [https://sourceforge.net/p/gramps/mailman/gramps-announce/ archives]) : Announcements and general important news items.

Low traffic. ==Forum==The Gramps user community maintains an active presence in a variety of online forums. For many years, the 'official' (monitored and maintained by Gramps volunteers) support channel used a series of MailLists for simple text communications. Beginning in 2020, most of our bandwidththe 'official' support traffic started passing through [https://discourse.gramps-project.org/ an online forum] powered by the Discourse platform which added the ability to include illustrations, formatting and corrections. The MailList became a 'legacy' support system that boasts extensive archives of discussion threads. ===Official===* [https://forum.gramps-project.org/ Discourse forum for Gramps]: You can use the forum to [https://gramps.discourse.group/t/tutorial-videos/126 discover tutorial videos], we ask questions and get help from the Gramps community.
