LOL I thought we had settled on the Porchlight for here and the International Missing and Unidentifed for the website? I thought those were the top vote getters? I thought, anyway. Please feel free to tweak the form in anyway you wish. We will work on getting the url to be changed (or added perhaps so both might work) to Porchlight. |

We should also agree on a standardised Subject heading for the emails so that as more of these are made, LE will begin to learn and know who they are from (because all our email addresses will be different). How about 'PORCHLIGHT PM SUBMISSION FORM' ? or 'PORCHLIGHT POSSIBLE MATCH SUBMISSION' ? |

So are we settled on that for all members Subject heading on email submissions to LE? I think if it is uniform like that it looks 'neater' more professional than a whole host of different headings. We will stop short of calling it a rule, miss Lavenfield might faint if she gets the slightest whiff of it being one. I think it is just common sense. |

Maybe since we are new, there should be something in there about how long some of the senior members of missing and unindentifieds have been doing this? Perhaps maybe note assistance in some solves without mentioning where these assisted solves were made? Just a thought. And gawd we gotta change that 'usetobedoe' in the link LOL orrrrrrrrr did it already come up about sending info to LEA's that we've worked with in the past and perhaps a letter has gone out to them letting them know of the new site? |

Good idea Rita. I think it would be good to put up a FAQ sheet. I am preparing a flyer about us that I intend to mail out with all PMs and to all LE and ME I want to contact. |

I like the stating how long the senior members have been involved in this. But, I think referring to the assistance in solves could present problems.... This group/site should stand on it's own merit's and develop it's own track record for solves.
