The new and improved assistantsinfrance.com site!

After switching the program we use to run the forums, I decided to take advantage of the overhaul and re-do the main pages of the site. This means I can entirely clear out the old program being used to run assistantsinfrance.com (Mambo), which will free up a lot of space on my server. Good news, too, because over 2,000 assistants and their almost 30,000 forum posts can start to add up.

A few things to note:

The forums

The forums are open and all users who signed up with the old forums should be able to login. If you have a problem with this, please contact me by email. Thus far, only two or three people have had issues, so the switchover has been fairly seamless.

Moderators

I'm looking for people willing to moderate forums for any given amount of time. You decide how long. Moderating means a few things: moving topics to proper categories, editing double posts, having "moderator" appear next to your name in the forums. Moderators are in charge of specific forums. So, for example, if you are always reading the "Assistant Lounge," maybe you'd be willing to keep it organized and respectable by moderating it. Contact me if you're into the idea.

Member database

The old site had a member database. Do you want it back? We can keep it if you prefer it to the user groups in the forums. Your call.

Links

I'm going to work to bring in the links from the old site into this new one, and then have a few pages of useful links broken down for everybody. If you have any link suggestions, or if you want to be a doll and just whip up a link list (with a name for the link and a corresponding URL) then I would be more than happy to post it.

Suggestions!!!!

Please contact me with your suggestions!! I'm in the dark unless I get feedback, and I read and respond to every email I get. I do all this web stuff as a hobby (I know, I know...), so don't get too high-tech on me, but send me your ideas.

Ok... that's it. Thanks for roughing it through a few days of adjustment.
