wish list item...

[John Esak]

Lauren,
My apologies... sorry... God I'm an idiot... I think you may have even told
me about this in the FP Room and I just didn't remember.

I should have looked on the new filePro Forum first before posting my
suggestion. I see that there is already a section up there called Wish List
and it is a really good start on this important aspect of filePro
development. So, again my apologies for not doing my homework first, and let
me now change this question from can we get a Wish List section on the forum
to Can we get a response as to how wish list items placed there will be
responded to by FP Tech... And, a response to my suggestion that they be
added as a marked and special function of the support forum so they can be
tracked with that mechanism which is so neat and already in place? I stopped
posting to the other "wish list" on the web about two years ago when I
realized that nothing put there was ever responded to or acknowledged by FP
Tech in any way. It was/is like throwing things into a black hole.
Hopefully, this new attempt can be different. As I said, it has been 15
years at least in the asking that wish list items be assigned some sort of
tracking and response. The new forum and the new support engine are a
perfect opportunity to finally do it right.

Thanks,
John
