I just want to point out that any of you Nexudus users can start a Nexudus user group on Facebook. You don't have to wait for permission from anyone. Or if you're waiting for someone else to start it, you might be waiting awhile!! Angel On Sunday, April 29, 2018 at 6:42:49 AM UTC-6, Isabelle

I am not a developer and I learned to use Cobot all by myself. I have used a developer once to integrate Cobot into my website to show member profiles but that's an optional step. Angel On Sunday, May 13, 2018 at 7:20:14 AM UTC-6, VillageOne wrote: > > Hi, everyone, I am about to open a new
