Hummmmmmmm.........question. Would "public" require to first be a member and if so would the view limitations currently in place limit accessibility until they do? Sorry brother couldn't help the question. I'm in the process of learning a new Learning Management System in pilot form and it has me in the mind set of picking, picking, picking in trying to get it right! Still.....:thumbsup:

Or become an external user that would limit access to the rest of TJ?
