Those of you who have questions about your membership reactivation after the board upgrade can post your questions here. I've asked Donner to moderate the forum and try to answer technical questions about the reactivation process and offer whatever assistance she can make available.

RR's notes:
If TSM is going to face a lot of individual member reactivation problems, it might be helpful to corral them into one board where someone not logged in can post. Un-reactivated members can still post as guests.
It's something RR could help with while Lisa is busy with technical board issues and rjb/Star handle the board moderation and spoiler jobs.
Donner's "tech asst" member group is a "one of a kind" group like RR now occupies over on TSM. Donner is moderator of this board activation problem board.
As a board moderater, Donner/RR would show up on the membership "staff" screen just like Gidget/Mickey did as moderators on TSM, but it should not cause comment among other TSM members since Donner/RR is merely helping with technical matters and is not a global moderator like rjb/Star.
The "tech asst" member group would not be as "invisible" as RR's "Lounging on the Deck " membership (with invisible trailing space), but shouldn't cause comment if she actually does offer some technical assistance with upgrade and reactivation issues. She still would not be modifying any posts or perform any functions which would leave her name behind.
PV4 has the advantage of being able to designate any member group as "staff" and assign powers to them. "Tech asst" could be given the same powers as RR would have if she logged in as ABCD (and would have to use the same restraints), but could avoid the login/logout hassle with the possibility of posting under the wrong name.
