and here is that response.


We do not have a Forum widget, but when you enter into the forums you will
see a “New” under each new thread where there is a new posting. Also our
forums are listservs, where members can receive a daily digest in there
emails each morning.

Hope that helps you all.

second other question, the forums are in the member's section of the
website.
Your dues are paying for what we do, if others want the benefits, they need
to join the club.

This ain't gonna be a "Social Democracy"  where some pay and everybody else
freeloads.

Michael
