In Response To: Unable to Post to Forum (Mike Hoffman)

Mike it's an old system. When you register for the forums it saves your
email address as of that time rather than your membership id or member
number either of which would probably be better. Anyway, you should be able
to fix this be unsubscribing and then resubscribing to the forums you want
to join.

We are in the process of updating the IIUG Website etc. The main landing
pages are already there and the forums are on the list for a round of
updates later in the year.
