I really appreciate your efforts, David, but as I mentioned, one of the things I have liked about the old group is that for me it is easier to use. I simply get messages put in my "lute list" folder automatically, and thus I can store them readily on my local machine. It is also useful to have a pane containing a list of, say, 20 emails with their subjects so I can easily select which ones to look at or respond to instead of having to scroll down a list of partially displayed messages. I can also delete the messages that I don't need so they don't get in the way of the ones I do need. Maybe there will be ways of using the new group that can answer these concerns, and maybe it's just that this old dog can't learn new tricks that easily, but as things stand I will find the new list less useful. --Sarge

Remaining issues 1) At first all videos embedded from YouTube or Vimeo added before 2014 were not showing up properly. The YouTube issue was fixed but apparently old Vimeo embeds used Flash in a way not supported in 3.0. I think this impacts very few older videos. If it impacts you, my apologies and please feel free to re-upload/embed again. Should be no problem with the new embed codes from Vimeo 2) Some new members have old accounts under another email. If this applies to you and you did this on purpose, please let me know which of the accounts you would like me to delete. 3) One of the features I did not activate was a personal Blog page. I felt that most personal musings could have a home in the discussion forum or events page and it was a minimally utilized feature on the old site. I made a mistake when I set up the personal web page and included a place for adding blogs, but since there was no actual blog page it didn't show. Please let me know if you would want this feature on the new site and as long as people are not writing 10,000 page manifestos we could support it.
