I use a browser almost exclusively.
This post is at:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/firebird-support/message/104295

By following the "Messages in this topic" link at the bottom of the email, I get a threaded view of the emails, just like a forum.

The group, itself, is also searchable, and I have been remarkably successful finding what I need. The main page has search and advanced search, which seem easy enough to use and very forum-like.

Apparently the issues is Chrome...I'd go back to Firefox and check out the web site.
