New Discussion Forums (summary of comments)

Base on the feedback so far, I thought I would post an updatebased:

Updated or to be updated shortly:
- All customers will be able to post to the forums. They can now,you just need a Customer Portal account (with or withoutSubscription Service). The link on the Customer Portal will beupdated later (just bookmark the forum). The note at the bottom ofthe main page will be updated.
- The main page and latest posts will be updated to show the latestposts and the latest posts list will be sorted by date.
- Users can delete their own posts.
- Update email subscription & digest link.
- Fix the Remember Me feature.

Under review:
- Add the DHTML edit with spell check.
- Address the mark as read issue.
- Allow for user icons (and upload of icons)

We will do a poll in the next couple of weeks to gauge the need foradditional features that can be turned on such as:
- Allow for user chat (with pre-defined rooms)
- Polls
- FAQ's
- Calendar
- Buddy list
- Pin posts

We will continue to work to make these forums a useful, productiveplace to share information. The issues on easily displaying what'snew on the Forum is the biggest item on this list.

Keep the feedback, good and bad coming, and we will continue tomake updates based on your comments.
