4. Instructions/Questions/Comments on the On-line Meeting Procedures

[Lyle Craver]

There is one major change to the rules for the April Governors' meeting - last meeting there were still unresolved issues concerning the ability of the vBulletin software to be used for CFC voting. These have now been resolved and votes in this meeting will be handled under items __ and __ starting on day __

For those of you wondering why my name is listed as thread starter, it was my job to set up the agenda as the various message threads. Once the thread is started I would have liked to have deleted my message (as I don't really need to see my name here that much) but have been advised that deleting the #1 message of a thread is likely to delete the topic altogether

Hi Lyle:

What happened to Item # 2: " Governors' Sign in "? It has disappeared.

Bob

[Lyle Craver]

Not sure what you mean by disappeared - it's visible here.

What is NOT visible is the vote and that is driving me bananas as it was a complete non-issue in January and so far as I know I have done with sign-in exactly what we did 3 months ago....

Hi Lyle:

Now the meeting Item # 2 is back on the page ( it was gone ), and the vote is showing. Looks like everything is back to normal - can governors now vote to sign in again?

Bob

[Michael von Keitz]

Just to confirm Bob isn't crazy, the sign in thread was entirely absent earlier in the day.

[Bob Armstrong]

Thx Michael - I know I'm waiting for new glasses.......but...........

Bob

[Lyle Craver]

Totally absent?

I'm still digging through the admin control panel and am coming up blank - on the face of it we've done everything right BUT

[Michael von Keitz]

Yeah, who knows? At least the thread is present now!

[Lyle Craver]

Michael you have no idea just how relieved I am on that score - I've been spending a lot more time "under the hood" this time than last time. If it seems I've spent less time participating in the issues of the meeting than in January you are correct even though taking into account the "under the hood" time I've actually spent way more time on the meeting than in January.

One point I haven't mentioned that may be of interest to Governors is that this meeting I've set the default sequence to be the sequence of the agenda rather than the most recently replied to item. Any Governor who prefers the other format can go to the options at the top of the forum and change how the meeting threads appear on their screen.
