Folks, I'm sorry, but I've already closed at least one thread on this topic.

We are not going to use the existing version of Parachat. A new version is slated for the fall, and we are moving to that version (which you cannot test yet).

Yes, any system is going to be different than the current system. The new system will be tested in parallel with the old system. When that happens, we will solicit feedback on the new system -- not before. We do not run polls on proposed new functionality roll-out, but we will solicit feedback when the time is right (e.g., when we actually have something real to test on the site).

When a thread is closed about a topic, we ask members not to re-open the topic in a new thread (even if you try and change the topic slightly).
