Greetings:
Barry brought up a question about pop-ups. I'm assuming he's referring to the NOTAMs window. Quite frankly, I don't see what the big deal is--I typically shut down the main VPC window and operate/navigate throught the NOTAMs window (yes, all of the links works in NOTAMs).
Anyway, my feeling is that while we're in Beta, NOTAMs or some other method of letting people know we're in Beta must be there to avoid misunderstandings.
I also feel that after we "go live," we need to be able to let people know about news, upcoming events, and system status--which the NOTAMs page is designed to do. I suppose we can just cram that stuff in the main VPC page (which will make the page take even longer to load), or have a click through before the we load the main page (e.g. in the same window), but I really hate either of those ideas.
Then again, crew have crew access without the pop-up. Perhaps we should just have a member access page? As a member, you'd think that members would be know enough to check NOTAMs for the information found there?
If you feel strongly about any of this stuff, please make your feelings known.
Thanks!
Ben
