Dear {$user.name_f}:

Our apologies for those of you who may have received this newsletter already, perhaps multiple times. We would like to be able to say it was a software glitch; unfortunately is was human error. Sorry about that. We are glad that all of you have a delete key!

In today's newsletter:

Our Menus Have Changed

No doubt you have heard this phrase before when calling a toll-free customer service number; "Please listen carefully as our menus have recently changed." Well our LDV menus have changed. Here is a short list of new things you will see in our top of page menus:

  • Discussion Forums, now online. Note: you will probably have to login at least once using your LDV username and password.
  • Photo Gallery, now online. The gallery shares the Forums interface, you will have to login here or at the forums page at least once. Cookies will maintain your login after that. We will be adding images, but hope you will also. This is a shared resource that will benefit all of our members. Paid subscribers: you can create your own image galleries.
  • Customer Support Center, now online. The center includes a knowledgebase of site FAQs, a method for submitting a ticket, and eventually live support and troubleshooters. Tim is busy adding to this, which mature over time.
  • True Conversion Stories, now linked to its own discussion forum. Submit your conversion story today!
  • More submit links

Rather than give links to these new features, we ask that you find them in the menus and check them out! We are working hard to make your membership more valuable.

EARN FREE PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS

We need helpers at LDV. We are looking for people to help with Primary and Young Women and Activities, Relief Society, Crafts, Scouts and other areas of interest to latter-day saints. Helpers hunt for great ideas, request permission to use them at LDV, and upload them to the Knowledgebase - it takes someone with a great interest, some time, editing skills and a good comfort level on computers/the internet. Helpers earn free subscriptions and merchandise. Contact Debra if you are interested in becoming an LDV helper!
