I used the forward by email feature to redistribute the Announcement of the next IT Exchange. I was somewhat dismayed to discover that the email that is created is a link to the posting in the forum, rather than the text of, in this case, the date, time, place of the next IT Exchange. This means people that get my email need to click on the link, login to the forum (in fact login in again, in the new browser window, even if they are already logged in from another browser window (at lease with IE), and then be taken directly to the posting. Seems like at least some won't appreciate the extra steps. /d ________________________________ From: Laurence Bates [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 10:57 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] Possible problem with the forum.msu.edu site When I cut and paste from the forum.msu.edu site in order to create a reminder email, I can read the email but when I move it to my calendar the text from the forum.msu.edu site shows as black on a black background. I can read it by changing the text to white or something but that adds even more time to the process. Any ideas? ________________________________ From: Laurence Bates [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 10:48 AM To: 'Laurence Bates' Subject: test email From: Laurence Bates [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 10:29 AM To: 'Laurence Bates' Subject: Next IT Exchange Meeting [log in to unmask] <http://forums.msu.edu/member.php?u=28> Super Moderator Join Date: Mar 2008 Posts: 1 Next IT Exchange Meeting ________________________________ The next IT Exchange meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, June 11, 2008, at 3:30 pm in the Erickson Kiva.
