| GE Post Wizard - is this a good thing? | Gregg1956 | 6/23/12 11:51 AM | In the past few weeks there has been an influx of misplaced and undesirable posts. This coincided with the ability to post directly from the Google Earth software with the GE Post Wizard being reactivated. I have to wonder if this is a good idea. It |

Lots of posters only post once or twice. It is a pity the user list has gone to confirm the usage, mind you with a |
| Re: GE Post Wizard - is this a good thing? | Gregg1956 | 6/24/12 8:07 PM | I want to clarify my point, since at least one member seems to have missed it entirely. I see the Post Wizard (PW) as being far more detrimental than beneficial. I see a constant stream of very poorly done posts being placed in inappropriate forums. |
| Re: GE Post Wizard - is this a good thing? | Masonicmoron | 6/25/12 1:34 PM | Hi Greg The last thing I want to do is insult anyone. If you have read this in my reply I regret any such intention. I am saying that the Posting Wizard takes a lot of the hard work out of posting, yes it does drive some information to be shared wi |
| Re: GE Post Wizard - is this a good thing? | craigd | 6/25/12 3:34 PM | Hi Gregg1956, thank you for your thoughtful posts. I very much appreciate your feedback, I can see your frustration and totally agree we need to improve. Our goal for the PW is to introduce new members to the GEC, to have quality posts made easier |
| Re: GE Post Wizard - is this a good thing? | Gregg1956 | 6/25/12 6:11 PM | Hi Craig- First, thank you for listening. That's encouraging. I know you are probably working on a lot of things I'm unaware of, so I appreciate your timely reply. I'm happy to share my opinion on the questions you raised. |

| Re: GE Post Wizard - is this a good thing? | washi | 1/20/13 8:15 AM | I think it may be time to celebrate, Gregg! It's been over 24 hours since I've seen an inappropriate post delivered by the posting wizard. If so, this is (IMHO) a major step forward. |
| Re: GE Post Wizard - is this a good thing? | Gregg1956 | 1/20/13 2:42 PM | Hi washi. I got so excited when I saw your reply. This would, indeed, be a time for celebrating but alas... it seems the PW is still in place. I think it's just malfunctioning. I just tested it and got all the way to the editor. I couldn't add text |

| Re: GE Post Wizard - is this a good thing? | washi | 1/20/13 6:22 PM | I feel terrible, Gregg, to have dashed your hopes, but it really was wonderfully refreshing to look back over 24 hours worth of posts and find them free of the Facebook Infection. Hang in there, guy! |

| Re: GE Post Wizard - is this a good thing? | Gregg1956 | 1/20/13 7:55 PM | No, please washi, don't feel bad. It's not your fault at all. This is something that has been building up inside me for weeks. For a month I've been coming here every day and hoping "this will be the day" that the PW is gone and every day I'm disappo |
