We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:
https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov
Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.
The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.
Since you are building from source code, the plugins have to be compiled also, and they should be in your path or set by the environment variable AFNI_PLUGINPATH. The plugins will typically be compiled to be shared objects that begin with "plug" and end with the suffix ".so" in the filename.
