OK folks, the web guys think they fixed the GRACE sign-in issues AND (let’s hope) the lack of e-mail response when users request a new password.  Please report any emerging or continuing problems to me (west@cancergrace.org), or you should still be able to start a thread on the OncTalk forums for a while to generate your own bug list.  We’re obviously going to need to address any residual problems as a very high priority (not that it wasn’t before, but now we’re burning the boats and moving ahead with GRACE, so that should provide extra incentive).

   Tonight or tomorrow evening, we’re going to shut down OncTalk for comments and new user registrations, while the current information, including all posts and comments, are moved over to GRACE (along with the user list).  If all goes well, information here will continue to be readable for a while (before people are automatically redirected to the GRACE website), but:

1) new users will need to register at GRACE, not OncTalk

2) new posts will be up at GRACE, not OncTalk, except for notices like this

3) people will be able to make comments at the GRACE site, not on OncTalk

4) very soon, we’ll freeze the forums here, which will remain browsable and searchable, but people won’t be able to add to them. Instead, new threads and responses will be at the GRACE forums (www.cancergrace.org/forums).  And users that join after today will only be able to post on the GRACE forums. 

   I expect that there will be a few bumps in the road, but just let me know what isn’t working, and we’ll jump on these problems.  In the end, GRACE will provide more features, beyond what we could build into OncTalk.
