Is our Forum Growing?

<< < (2/9) > >>

touringman:
I'm guessing that quite a few of our members are about as adept at the computer as they are with a gps. That's not a slight, but a situation that arises due to a generation gap, a sense of satisfaction with the status quo, and maybe a sense of embarrassment about not being able to use the computer very well. Those who are embarrassed will probably remain that way unless a knowledgeable friend offers in a non-demeaning way to help. I like the forum, but it has even bothered me that we have to pick up, and do it all over again somewhere else, even though I know that each move is for the best.

Some time ago I mentioned a class at Star about using the GPS, and I believe it was-or is well attended. I think that now is the time to offer such an introductory course for the use of the forum. Such things as printing registration forms, or, Heaven forbid, registering online are totally foreign to many. Many also are totally unaware or the communications and opportunities they are missing. We need to make them aware! JMHO, Syd :)

I think Jay has done this before but maybe it's time for a refresher course? -JEP-

I suspect a session during STAR on how to navigate through the forum would be highly in order and would be well attended.

OMG... Great idea!!

Ok guys, some of you will take this the wrong way but understand I am trying to make you see the situation clearly...

1. I am currently going through the home buying process, so I most likely will not be at STAR this year as the closing date will be close to that time. With that said, who would teach said class?

2. We tried this at Johnson City, and about 8 people showed up, all of who regularly used the forum. The ones that suggested the class are the very ones who are suggesting it this time around. Are you going to show up? Past experience says no.

3. Has anyone ever thought about clicking that button next to the Home button that says "Help"? The is plenty of useful information there that will help you along with understanding how different functions of the forum work.

Really, I'm not trying to be an ass in my response, but understand, the webmaster cannot teach everyone how to use the forum or explain why they can't access the forum on their 20 year old computer. I do the best I can and their are resources that allow you to educate yourself. Yes, I would love for this forum to be successful and it is well on it's way there. Unfortunately, I do not have the resources to teach each and every MSTA member how to use it.
