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.
Great you worked it out - a few ways. Just to add some more options, other Xservers on Windows will probably work too. I've tried MobaXterm that combines an X11 server with a configurable terminal also works pretty well. That can start the WSL Ubuntu inside the application, so it may be easier. Others may be good too - Xwin32, Exceed3D, X410, but these others are not freeware.
