    As you've noticed we have a new web site, which is powered by a great tool to manage many administrative tasks for NARO.  As a part of this new tool, we have these forums which we consider a vital part of NARO membership. However, this forum software is incomplete and did not allow us to import our old forums nor does it include many important features like the ability to search.  What we've discussed is installing a more powerful forum software with the drawback being that the passwords would not synchronize between the NARO site and the new forums.

    We want to know if you all are okay with that setup knowing that it might be confusing for many of the members to remember two passwords and when to use each one?  Is this an acceptable option or would you prefer that things remain as they are?  Thank you in advance for your feedback!

    Easy way to handle is to set up a link to an archive of old forum, so people can look at it.     If they want to comment on an old thread, they can copy the post from old, and paste it into a new thread on new.
    I doubt that there are enough long running threads to justify separate PW hassles.

    What about the ability to search?  Would that justify it?

    I like the idea of upgrades. If having to sign on twice would give us a functional search, ability to copy to a new message, and a more powerful tool to use, I say go for it. One caveat--make sure instructions are easy to find, easy to read and easy to follow. Thanks.

    I like the ability to search, and don't think two passwords would be too cumbersome.  Can always just indicate an "A" and "B" or a "1" and "2" with the main password.

    The NARO is a great organization, but this website is very difficult to navigate. I logged on so I could find some current discussion about seismic agreements and leases in Texas and Oklahoma. May I suggest a focus group at the next NARO meeting to talk about what members need from the NARO website?

    We did add this feature.  It's located here: http://www.naro-us.org/oldnaroforums.

    Could you be more specific as to your dislikes?

    Being able to search and being able to access the old forums is very important to me! Two passwords would be inconvenient, but worth it.
