Higher Logic Update, Peter Elias
The entire membership was added on April 9th. When an SPM member’s name and email address is added to the platform system, the software (not an individual) sends an automated message with instructions on how to register and set one’s password. They will get system emails from the system as soon as their name and email are entered, but they will not get updates about *posts or other content* until they have registered. The ListServ will be closed after May 8th. New members will get an email welcoming them to the Higher Logic Forums.
