Our new and upgraded forums board is now operational. The Chapter executive committee voted to spend the money necessary to buy a first class bulletin board system. We are now the proud owners of our own copy of vBulletin. Those of you that have used Cyburbia should be very familiar with its functionality.
Pre-Registration: To save you time and trouble all APA-KS Members have been pre-registered. To log in to the forums click here go to the members list. If you are not pre-registered it is because either your membership has lapsed or you were left off of the list APA National sends out. Either way, it is an easily resolvable situation. Send an email to cwdunn@gmail.com describing the problem.
