Hello everyone! I hope that your summer is going alright, I just wanted to bring a couple of things to your attention so that you weren't left with any surprises.
First of all, in an effort to combat spam and advertising on the TLUG forums, I have implemented a custom profile field that is required to have a value filled in for it upon registration. For more information about this, please check this thread: http://tlug.latech.edu/board/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=159
Also, I have written up some general guidelines for conduct while using the TLUG forums. I know that most of this is redundant, but I just wanted everyone to know about them. This thread also contains important information about the new custom profile field, and I want everyone to read it and make sure they understand. This thread can be found here: http://tlug.latech.edu/board/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=160
Also, it does not state this in the thread, but these new guidelines will begin to be enforced after the first meeting of the fall 2009 quarter, so don't worry about losing your account over the summer. However, I would still like everyone to read these guidelines so that they know how to fill out the new profile field.
I will be updating the website very soon. I won't give an exact date because we all know that deadlines are hardly ever met on time. If anyone has any suggestions for panels or presentations for meetings, please send them in to me or post them on the forums under "Ideas". Later, I will also post a tentative schedule for reference.
Remember, if anyone has any questions, you can email me at tlug@xxxxxxxxxxx Adele Richards, Webmaster ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
