Until then:</tt><br><br><tt>-Higher Logic has gone through a very large upgrade of speed(as promised) and Library functionality(as promised).</tt><br><tt>Both appear to be running smoothly with only a small bump here and there. Speed is noticeably better.</tt><br><br><tt>-You can now simply view items in any library without having to download it. </tt><br><tt>-Since the Convention, no less than 6 new Member Created Groups have appeared.</tt><br><tt>-All the committees have been moved to HL. Hopefully, this will be the start of what we like to call "institutional memory" for the committees.</tt><br><br><tt>-I have been told that a vBulletin look for the forum is scheduled for release the first part of September. A few of you have requested this, and there are a few Associations that HL deals with requesting the same thing. They are responding as quickly as they can. Keep in mind this is a company, from what I can gather, running very lean right now. But - they are responding.</tt><br><br><tt>-As to 3 biggies on the listserv vs. web forum comparison: </tt><br><tt>1. the re: issue has been re-submitted again since I feel it was lost in the cracks with their recent upgrade. Again, we are not the only organization requesting this.</tt><br><tt>2. Attaching photos to email and expecting it to appear on the forum appears to be low on their priority list. I know a few of you have expressed disappointment, yet have gone to the forum side to post pictures, and I thank you for that. </tt><br><tt>3. ASCII symbols can be added to the forum side at any time, but it is my understanding that, as we know, it creates a mess when certain symbols are attempted to be translated across forums..and then there are some that are not translated at all. Like I said, I have been told that these type of symbols can be added to the forum software at any time.</tt><br><br><tt>If there are concerns I have missed, please let me know. HL has been responsive to my requests.</tt><br><br><tt>Thanks,</tt><br><tt>-Phil </tt></span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
