  Can there be content that cannot be seen unless one is signed on?
  
  Can we the members be up-dated on the progress, if any, on fixing the problems here.

  Well, make it 3 questions. Is there any other software that would work better? I understand that WordPress is free/cheap and a lot of time and effort has gone into both JPR 2 &3. More suitable software costs money. I’d be willing to contribute for a fund raiser, as I can see a good inflectional future for JPR.
  Some other member would have to do the research and present the alternatives.

  If you are wrong, it will be because you are not cynical enough.
  The older we get, the less "Life in Prison" is a deterrent.

  Yeah, I think that's an entirely good thing to do at this point, RL…
  
  In fact, I made an attempt to notify admins on the post right before this one that that indicated some real frustration here.
  
  I think an update would be due to all (some persons are more in my camp, letting 3.0 issues be address as they are now), but not everyone understands what that means.
  
  It is not a stagnant process. It is, in fact, a painstaking process and I know SFFH will jump in here to say more soon. I appreciate your post…

  I voted to continue working on JPR 3.
  
  But only because my understanding is limited. I would be willing to do….whatever.
  I would like to remind you that U.S. health insurance companies do not contribute anything to health care. They are only a PARASITIC middle man receiving an undeserved cut of "FREE MONEY".

  Can't decide based on those choices,
  
  I don’t have the technical background, or any insight into running an online discussion board. If we need more money, I’ll donate, and I’ll up my usual donation, whether its for JPR3 or a JPR4. I know and appreciate the great amount of time and work has gone into this site so far.
  
  Could we hire an expert to fix the existing site quickly perhaps? I know its a lot of pressure, but the longer these problems continue, the more people will drift away, or not even consider joining. If that happens, then all of the blood sweat and hamster toil goes down the drain anyway.

    A fund drive to hire someone to help fix JPR 3 is an option too.
    
    Progress reports would be helpful also. There is nothing wrong with asking for help when things start to get too squishy to hold its desired shape.
    I can imagine the pressure the admin are under to get this site working before the members evaporate.

  I'm happy to donate to any project that improves the site
  
  I didn’t vote in the poll because I don’t have a strong opinion about nor sufficient knowledge to decide whether it’s better to invest in 3.0 or throw in the towel and move onto 4.0.
  
  Either way, a big thank you to all who have been working to improve this website. Despite the problems, this is still my favourite site for news and discussion.
