Hey Grant,
That is what Chris is working on. It will be a usergroup. The HPOCA forum, the discussion forum that deals with the HPOCA will be restricted to HPOCA members in good standing, that means dues paid up and current. A member will need to apply to Chris, with name and member number, he will check to see the membership is current, then add the member to the usergroup, and send a message to the member that their name has been added. Then, the member will be able to access the HPOCA forum. I think this will work for the better, at least it will help keep our business in the association, not out in the street. You should be sure Chris has your member number, so that he can add you to the usergroup.
I will try to go to plowday, are you coming down?
Take care!!!
Andy
