HI PAT.
I didn't receive a notification for tonights Novice SIG, so was unable to
participate.
Please advise.
Thanks Tom Leahy

I couldn't attend either as I assumed the notification I got which said in the subject line "link to the zoom meeting" didn't have a link. When i went to connect the notification said to "email in for the link" and by then the meeting was just starting and my request to join was not seen to after the meeting. I did receive a reply following the meeting to say my name would be put on the list for next one. Seems the process has changed because of public access to the Forums. I gather this might not have been working if members only are supposed to use the Zoom link. I'm a little mixed up on the forum thing as I thought one had to be logged in to use the Forum and therefore only members could actually get the Zoom link?? Like right now when I type this response I seem to be logged in but perhaps the login for members is automatic each time we go there.

Just a another thought. For those of us who missed this meeting could we be given a link to the recording of the meeting? I know from previous meetings and questions about the red recording button showing on during the meetings Charles as mentioned it is being recorded by the host. Not sure if this is then put on line somewhere that members could review?

There's a section in this very forum called "Recorded Meetings" with some of the recordings. I'll try and get some more up in the coming days.

Anyone can read the forums. Only those who have actually registered can post to the forums. So if the Zoom link is posted here, anyone can read that posting and possibly follow the link to the Zoom meeting. Note that just because someone isn't registered, that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't VMUG members however. Some members just choose not to register to (fully) use the forums. (Although I can't imagine why as there is so much more to be gained by being able to pose a question here.)
I tend to log off actually I have been on the forum each night. But others may just choose to stay logged in and then when they revisit, I suppose they are already logged in.
