Forum Access

The forums seem to limp along with minimal participation. I previously suggested that the forums be open to the general public and not just US MS members. It was evidently felt that it should be a US MS privilege. I think that if the forms were popular again it would encourage more people to join and there would be more value for the members as well. It may be too little too late as there just isn’t much forum, activity but I would really hope that the forums could be vibrant again.At one time people from all over the world were asking questions at the fforum and there were some really useful discussions. I don’t think people are getting much value from the forum for thier USMS membership at this time and having more people would be more value for everyone and again I believe could be a good marketing tool for US MS.

    +1 on everything King Frog said.  We have both been very active on the forums for many years, and we have seen the activity die a slow death.  The final nail in the coffin was changing to this new platform and losing many of our Forumites in the process.  As part of the beta testing group, I had hoped my feedback and suggestions would have contributed to positive changes.  Unfortunately, it doesn't appear as if any of the suggestions offered by any of the beta testers were implemented.

    Since the Smilies from the old forums weren't added here (as I had hoped), I will go through the extra steps to add them myself to spice up these drab forums:
