Please give this idea some serious thought. One example of additional detail we'd like to know: When will there be a comprehensive Help file? Also, if as you posted in June the VBulletin look and feel was a high priority and scheduled for the August updates, why is it now scheduled for end of year?> </pre> Mike, the User Help Group is open to everyone and functions quite nicely. Those ideas would be welcomed there. There already is a comprehensive Help File: <a href="http://my.ptg.org/PTG/PTG/Home/FAQHelp_information/Default.aspx">http://my.ptg.org/PTG/PTG/Home/FAQHelp_information/Default.aspx</a> It's under the home tab at my.ptg.org. You don't need to be logged in to see it. Also, "Getting Started" is on top of the left column. That seems to be in the right place for the new users to look at and get acquainted with the software. As for the vBulletin release: I'm relaying what was said to me. You're right that I said there was a release coming out in August. Did the vBulletin look make the next upgrade? I can't answer that. The CEO has been preaching speed - speed - speed upgrade for months. Personally it can't happen soon enough. Please understand that if they decide to change what they choose to upgrade and at what time, that is way out of my control. The suggestion has been made, by more organizations than the PTG, so again - I ask patience. I hope the vBulletin look is in the next upgrade..if not, then those, like us, that have a strong desire for that look will once again preach. Mike, I told The President that I would be accountable in this position until Aug.29. The reason for the date was to give the Home Office a little bit of a breather coming off the Convention, and time to re-organize Chapter Officers, Committees, moving mailing lists, etc to Higher Logic. I anticipate being busy helping with these changes. At that point, Aug.29, it will be the decision of the new President whether that person wants to continue having a Project Liaison like myself for the position. I can assure you if there is one, it will not be me. I would be happy to assist, and bring up to date that new Liaison. I will be volunteering again on the ECC(if asked) and hopefully remain the representative for the South East Region. -Phil </body> </html>
