I'm looking for an online electronics forum (web-based) where I can post
some questions.

Don't get me wrong: I love, and usually prefer, Usenet. But I'm trying
to educate myself here, am working on a project, and a web forum that
allows one to post pictures would be better for my purposes. At least
I'd like to try it. (The subject of my current research is the ins and
outs of op amps.)


news:sci.electronics.basics or news:sci.electronics.design are both
good. You get more hand holding in the .basic group, but you see the
same people from the .design group. They have more patience on the
.basic group which is intended to teach electronics, while the .design
group is to trade ideas between professional designers.


How did you miss that I specifically requested an online forum, not
other Usenet newsgroups? It's right up there in the very first sentence
I wrote, for chrissakes.



My suggestion still stands. Online forums drop like flies, so I've
stopped even trying to find one that's useful. Do whatever you like.
