New POCT Listserv platform

I've been told by Groupsite that all members on our POCT Listserv have been successfully migrated to the new Groupsite platform.  

As you test it out, let me know if you have any issues, and what you think of the updated platform.

Thanks again for your patience!

Both myself and my co-workers have not received any LISTserv emails since the platform switch. Is there something we need to do to get the discussion emails again?

Hi All!  Just a quick update from your POCT Listserv Manager...

You may have noticed a drop-off of activity and may have had difficulty submitting new posts.  Groupsite, the service we use to host the POCT Listserv recently rolled out a new platform.  However, Groupsite had issues when migrating our group onto the new platform.  They have been working on it behind the scenes and believe we are back up and running.

The new platform has a bunch of new and cool features, including being able to 'unfollow' discussion topics that are not of interest.  For example, you will be able to follow/unfollow posts in specific categories (e.g., Vendor Forum).  

This post is also a test of the new platform.  Hopefully you received this ok and the problems have been resolved.  Please let me know if you have any problems going forward.

Thanks for your patience!    --Bill

HI Bill, Is there any way to move discussion topics over to the General Discussions section? When the new site went live it was confusing and 4 or 5 topics got posted under the "platform update" section. Most will not see these as they subscribe to General Discussions. 

Hello all, I posted last evening that I finally got in using Chrome. However it didn't work for me two weeks ago. And this morning it took several tries using Chrome to 'get in'. 

My worry is that I will give up agreeing to spend the time to 'get in' to reply.
 
But I wanted folks to know it's not them/what they are doing that is causing our collective befuddlement! 

I was unable to reply to anything as well-- I just changed my browser to Chrome to log into here, and...VOILA!! 

Thanks Peggy!

Hi Guys!  

I'm so sorry that the new Groupsite platform is causing such hassles!  I continue to work with them on a daily basis to get everything resolved.  Clearly older browser versions and Internet Explorer seem to be having difficulties when making posts.  Chrome seems to be working the best.  

Earlier in the troubleshooting process, I had Groupsite do a back-door 'fix' to subscribe ALL members for ALL of the current discussion posts.   So everyone should be automatically following updates to any of the past discussion posts.  

As I understand it, going forward, all members will receive only the FIRST post of any new discussion topic, and then you can then elect to follow that topic or not.  This should save you time reading and deleting posts from topics that are not of interest to you and should reduce inbox clutter.

You can always reach out to me directly by selecting the 'email the manager' button on the home page.

I really appreciate all the feedback... and your patience... as we get things fine tuned.    

Thanks again, 
Bill

Almost without exception, members that are having difficulty posting or responding to Listserv posts have been using Internet Explorer.  

If you are having issues, try using Safari or Chrome and in most cases the problem will go away.  

If you continue to have problems, or have other suggestions, don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Thanks!
