I noticed that if you are not logged in the CHAPTERS (except for Colorado) don't show up ....  

Is there a reason for this?

Just curious.

Thanks
Caeli

Sorry, Colorado should not have been visible either..

The individual chapter forums, as well as many of the other forums (Alumni Chat, Save Antioch, Finance and Fundraising, etc.) are unavailable unless you're logged in, to shield email addresses and other personal information that might be in the content from public searches/spambots.

Hi.

Someone changed the spot where it says "member" on the part of my profile that shows on the list to "troll."  Please change it back to member.  

Thank you.

Communication, from the point of view of an occasional viewer, is very confusing!
Some of us receive a huge number of emails, mostly internal discussions aimed at a small group.
Please post a message giving instructions for managing participation in email listservs.
Also, what is the policy regarding forums? Is there a plan to switch software?  
I ended up at "http://wordpress.org/support/" and was then moved to an irrelevant site.
While I do want to "stay in touch," I can't afford to be overwhelmed.

There is an Announcements mailing list, reserved for key announcements only, available for subscription at http://antiochians.org/mailing-lists/.  
A message with instructions and descriptions of the listservs/forum/subscription options will be widely broadcasted soon.  We hope to have that out in the next week.

What do you mean by "policy regarding forums"?  We are working on building an Acceptable Use Policy which all community members are encouraged to contribute to.

Regarding forum software, there had been plans to change software, but for several reasons those plans were changed, and we are are staying with PunBB for now.  If you have further questions or input on that, please contact me or drop a note to forum@antiochians.org.

I'm not sure how you ended up at Wordpress/support...maybe a link from the frontpage of http://antiochians.org ?  Wordpress is the software on which Antiochians.org is currently running.

The Save Antioch mailing list doesn't seem to be archiving properly. There are only three posts in the September Archives, with the last one being on September 4:

Actually I believe that list has only been used that much this month it's actually not an error from that point. HOWEVER you're right that posts in the Saveantioch forum are not mirroring out to the list, Alicson and I will have to investigate that.

Thanks for the heads up

antiochians.org "chapters" page appears to have a problem (at least in my browser, Mac OSX Safari).  The page appears all grey, with almost no text on it.  Let's fix soon.  Thanks.

[Matthew Baya]

I tested it in Safari and encountered the same problem. After a bit of digging it turns out there was some bad HTML in a post about viewing the webinar in NYC from a month ago. I cleaned that up and it works now. Thanks for the heads up Jeff

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a "mail bridge"? I looked for an Intro or Help page for the forums that might explain it, but couldn't find one. Thanks. -- Virginia

[Alicson]

Hi Virginia,

the mail bridges we refer to are "bridges" between a specific forum and a particular mailing list.

For example, the SaveAntioch forum is mailbridged the the SaveAntioch mailing list, which means that any emails exchanged on that mailing list will also post to the SaveAntioch forum, and any posts to that forum will also be sent to the SaveAntioch mailing list.
Some people prefer to communicate within the forums, and some prefer to communicate via email; with the bridges, we can help conversations be as inclusive as possible across multiple mediums.

Does that answer your question?
