I couldn’t agree more with Maxim. I think there is more emphasis required on functionality rather than cosmetics at this stage. I’ve got a list as long as my arm at this stage and consciously decided not to bring them into conversation for now, so as not to distract everyone from the main objective as to having such a platform up and running. If it meets the basic requirements, of which I have not tested everything (for example recording and so on... which my students would feel a little uncomfortable about anyway)... but yes, I agree there are tweaks and issues that can be addressed on a user by user basis... some of which are great.... but maybe we can address this in a different forum... “Tweaks and Issues” ... or even “themes issues” etc... maybe... as an example. Either way... as limited as my experience is... I’ve grown an affiliation to this group... and the resources are huge. Google or use of the search query in the forums will offer some wonderful guidance and I will personally do my best to help with certain queries... we all know that Maxim answers as many queries as possible.... but how many of you know how many Maxims are out there? Hope this makes sense, I don’t intend to sound arrogant... but if you are looking for a national health service equivalent... Maxim is... and has been... your frontline. Goodnight.
