They would do well to have a link to a short vid showing a walk-through. IMO, it's currently lacking JudyM Jun 2016 #9

The interface is being upgraded dorkzilla Jun 2016 #10

I've read that, but for right now a vid would be helpful, just saying, for s site that needs to JudyM Jun 2016 #11

I will suggest it to the administrators dorkzilla Jun 2016 #12

Great! It would be super easy to do, just film over the shoulder of someone making their way around JudyM Jun 2016 #13

It's a fabulous idea... dorkzilla Jun 2016 #14

No film yet dorkzilla Jun 2016 #21

They could use jing...it is free and you can show how to do it on the site... artislife Jun 2016 #20

It still takes 3 minutes for that page to open for me Donkees Jun 2016 #34

bummer. is it your OS, browser, or connection? 2banon Jun 2016 #37
