Thank you for the heads-up on the disappearance of clubhouses from the Beta version. I had not noticed. The best way to get action is to raise a public squawk on the Beta Test thread. Will do! Thanks again! jbe

David and Dorine, Re: CLUBHOUSE I posted a message to Bryan B. on the Beta Test thread, citing your posts. This is the best way to get a response. Hope the response will be an acceptable one, i.e.: "We'll get on this right away!" Thanks again for bringing this glaring omission to our attention! I personally have not been using the Beta site much, because it still lacks some of the features (subject searches, for example) that the "fossil site" (what an expression!) has. jbe

TO ALL: Update on Clubhouse, and on New/Old SI I have not received any kind of real response to my query about the disappearance of the Clubhouses, including our own thread's Clubhouse. The nearest I got to one was this, from BryanB (who speaks for the Go2Net engineering team): About clubhouses, I'm not avoiding you - I just don't have a good answer for you yet. I've said it on this thread before. I don't make promises that I can't keep. So, if I haven't answered something yet, it's most likely because I'm still studying the situation. Message 10747500 Which, of course, raises the question -- why were the Clubhouses eliminated in the first place? And that, in turn, leads me to a broader issue. Many of the people who took part in the Beta test have been distressed to see the disappearance of key features from the "new" SI. But as long as they could continue to post on the old SI, they were willing to wait until all these "oversights" had been corrected. Then -- the word came that the old SI, which we prefer to call "Classic SI", would be shut down some 30 days or so after the official opening of the New SI, which has already taken place. (And whatever you may hear to the contrary, so far there has been NO official commutation of the death sentence.) There is now a petition to keep Classic SI functioning; that is, to give subscribers the option of using EITHER the New SI OR the Classic SI site. Some of our thread regulars have signed the petition already. Those of you who have not are urged to take a look at it, even if you do not choose to sign it. Message 10747500 And please vote (aye or nay) in this poll: unicus.com Thanks for listening. Joan
