Hi everyone,

As Christine said, there is an email notification option called "legacy" that allows you to respond via your email, just like the current listserv. We also love that feature of the current listserv and know how important it is to you all, so it was important to us to keep in the new system. For those using the "Real Time" or "Daily Digest" email options, the email notifications are set so that clicking the link in your email to respond to a message automatically logs you into the ASTC Community, so you don't have to worry about logging in every time.

The General Forum has not been added to the site quite yet (not the beta forum), and we'll let you know when it's up and running. 

If you have any other questions, comments, or concerns about the moving of the listserv, feel free to contact us directly at [log in to unmask] as well.

will be great if this actually works!  It should be the top line of the transition how-to as the migration comes along.  Thanks, Eric...
