Greetings!Some of you may have noticed that we've added some new functionality to ACARS. The newest additions add status listings to the online users list.
If you see any of the following next to an members name in the online users list, they indication as follow:
OLR - the member is accessing the VPC message board via our soon-to-be released VPC OffLine Reader
away - the member has set ACARS in away mode indicating they are not by their computer and may not immediately answer incoming ACARS messages
in flight - the member has joined a flight in the Flight Rooms.
Folks, we see ACARS as a technology to help bond and build the VPC Community. If you're online at the VPC, we request that you keep ACARS open so others can see that VPC is indeed populated. From the hit counts we're getting, we know we have many visitors, but only a percentage of them appear on ACARS. And as we all know, crowds attract bigger crowds. However, if the site appears to be empty, well, your average net user isn't going to hang around waiting for someone else to show up.
While ACARS (well, and the VPC overall) still isn't exactly where we want it to ultimately be feature and function wise, it is usable and we appreciate everyone's support, patience, and understanding while we continue to sort things out.
