FYI - Judy B asked for a user group for Xi, so I just started one on Yahoo. Don't shoot me Amigos! I'm just very used to the format from participating in the Agent Office anf Top Producer user groups there. It's at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Mark-It-AdvantageXi/

The reason I did it is because it's easier to respond to a post. Amigos - when you do the following here - I will move that group to here. When I get notification of a post from Yahoo groups, I hit reply, it takes me to a login, I log in, and then it takes me right to the post I want to reply to. Here - I have to log in, then find the post, then reply. Too cumbersome by comparison. I'm sure you'll do something comparable soon. When I see it, I'll move the group.

Thanks, Gary....and no offense, but I do believe the XI group belongs on "neutral turf". Great as tres amigos may be, not everyone who would use or benefit from XI is (1) an agent, or (2) a RT participant. So Yahoo it is (figured it would either be there or Google Groups).

Gary, when I received the e-mail notification of your post, I simply clicked on the Reply link at the bottom of the message and it took me direct to your post on the web. Below your post is the text discussion reply box I am using for this reply.

I don't have to login again because I already clicked the Remember Me box when I first logged in to RealTown.com For those who frequent the many features of their MyRealTown page (RSS feeds, access to RealTalk and other communities, Groups, Profiles, Blog Manager, etc), clicking the Remember Me box that sets the cookie is a time saver and eliminates having to login multiple times a day.

My bad John! It does bring me back to the group, and thread, once I log in. I just have to scroll down to the reply box. One other note. This reply goes to the whole string, as opposed to the person to whom I am relying. Is that how it should be? Or should it show that I am replying to a person's post? I guess that's what I was used to on Yahoo. In there, I come up in a box that is replying directly to that person;s post. In here, I have to start out by saying "Gary L" and then reply, so people know who I am replying to.

LOL!!! Gary, I'm right there with you! Ever since the changes in the last year or so with this "new system", I'm truly befuddled!!!! I've gotten some things that had reply buttons and they've brought me right to the spot online where I should be posting; other times reply simply relaunched my own email client and I did the copy/past stuff; or sometimes it would bring me back to the website where I had to 'log in' and try to figure out where the message was; and somehow or other I'm logged in as realtalk179 (I have NO idea how that happened...I thought I was homeslady or judib or something).

I'm a direct email response kinda person...but then the world is changing and everything doesn't seem to work that way anymore!!!!
