Old user forum

There is a user forum that that remains accessible but can only be read. Instead users can create support issues.

Old mailing list

Until the release of Dalton2013 November 2013, there were a mailing list available. The mailing list was meant as forum for exchange of experiences between users of the Dalton2011 programs. The mailing list is no longer supported.

A message archive of the postings to the dalton-users@kjemi.uio.no mailing list from before the creation of the forum is still available to subscribers. You must login on sympa.uio.no in order to read the archives.
