OFFERUTAH.ORG Support Board!
The Support Board on the website
has been removed until we can find a
volunteer willing to help manage it.
There seems to be an interest in the
OFFER community to have the Support
Board, but there are frequent
software updates and someone must
monitor the discussions
for objectionable comments and watch
out for the spam. It wouldn't
require more than a couple of hours
a week to keep the software
up-to-date and manage the
board. The software is not
difficult to understand, it simply
requires a commitment to keep things
running smoothly.
