... to a new Portal, http://lartisans.informe.com/portal.html
While anything new has a learning curve, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with all of the features and ease-of-use with the new site.
Says Jess in her email, "Great Features of the New Group:
- Organized Forums - Looking for something in particular is not a problem any more. There is a forum for almost everything you may need. If there isn't, there can be.
- Chat - Yep. I said chat. There is an area that you can talk to anyone else online at any time.
- Portal - The intro section on the Forum gives you the latest details of what's up in the forums.
- Committees and Local Groups - Have their own area to use to their advantage.
- Private Messages - You can contact anyone in our group without needing their email info or Etsy username.
- Mass Email - I can send out mass emails without my host shutting me down for the day.
- Ease of Use - Once you become familiar with it. It is much easier and friendlier to use. "
Google Groups won't be eliminated immediately, but please, please do NOT count on it to be your source for important, late-breaking info. Give the new Portal a try...
Once you create a login account, an email will automatically be sent to Jessica, who will then grant you access to the site.
Looking forward to seeing you on the Portal!
