Here are 3 cents today. I have made the Nova public for everybody once again. I think as a compromise maybe we should consider having the current Nova available to members and then make the older issues public. That way members will feel they are getting some value for their membership. The direct link to the Nova won't have any password protection on it and you will get it a day or 2 before the mailed version. The SLAS site will always have a log in to keep our membership roster protected as well as know who you are when you sign up for events. Since you asked so nicely, I put a Remember Logon Name checkbox on the log in page. You need to make sure your browser can save Cookies for this to work. Internet Explorer should ask you if you want to save your password, so all you will have to do is hit the logon button. You also need to remember that my day is full of activities too and I usually work on the SLAS site late at night after the kids are in bed. I'm all for making the SLAS website more user friendly, but I will change it how the board wants it within reason. Any requests for the SLAS web site enhancements, updates or problems can be directed to me at webmaster@slas.us (If you ask nicely I can make them more of a priority).

I agree and I have had the same problem - with SO SO many passwords to remember today on the internet, this is far more a pain than a help, and a losing battle. I just have mine mailed now - LOT >LESS hastle. Why do we need to make our newsletter such a "protected" document??? I agree with Joe, it could be a recruiting tool. Can't we PLEASE consider making this an easier task. Why can't >our SLAS website "remember" us after we log in once - many others can do that. My day is full of activities and a few seconds saved is worht a lot to me. I don't have the the time to figure out >our website every time I try to log on, so usually I just don't bother anymore. My 3 cents worth. Jim Stitley

Who else has this problem? I wanted especially to bring it to Ann's attention as she's the VP next year. But I can't read the Nova on-line because I have no idea what my password is or even if I have a password. I much prefer it open to all, for one thing because it lets prospective members know what we do and how much fun we have. Thanks, Joe
