Eyecare Professionals Only ...................

[Chris Ryser]

This morning I discovered an interesting point, which seems to explain why not more Optiboard members have made arrangements for access to the "Eyecare Professionals Only" Forum.

A programm that cleans computer and hard disc had deleted all cookies on my home computer, and when I wanted to go on the Optiboard, my password was missing.

I could see all the threads on our general forum but the one, mentioned above, the one that needs a subscrition did not show at all. So I assume that all Optiboarders that did not subscribe, when looking at the menu will not even see it. Here are some thread that might not be visible but make an interesting discussion:

Sexual Harassment

Prices ex China Manufacturer

Let's discuss ... human resources

Prices at retail level?

Some patients plain old SUCK!!!!!!!!

What are you paying for?

Frame part pricing

Advertising

How will that affect the optical retail

Pitch or get off the mound

What is the difference in revenue



In those few thread is a lot of information everybody would like to see because that is all valuable information on how others handle their sales and profits and other problems that occur and can not be discussed in a open forum. Think about it and subscribe to Optiboard.

Great Point Chris, I love the fact that their is a new forum where we can privately discuss things, it's nice and so far has proven very useful.

Steve does a great job of providing that as well.

I got my ROI for the upcoming yearly subcription, during the first week!

Balderdash!

there should be a 6 month minimum.
there's thousands of dollars of advertising and Human Resources information currently posted there.

There's a time and place for everything...:idea:

[jherman]

my point is

nothing worth having is free.

There are exception to every rule, however the nuggets of gold that have been posted in the subscription section are worth alot of money.

Hope I was articulate enough this time?

And your point is...

OK, I've looked all over the Optiboard site and I don't see an "Eyecare Professionals Only" forum. Can you please point me to where this is located? I'd certainly like an opportunity to give it a look.
Thx. :cheers:

Gil,

Unless you have paid for an Optiboard subscription, you won't even see this forum listed. As Chris mentioned, if you clean out your cookies and have go go back into Optiboard, it won't even show up, until you log in again, and recognizes your account. It provides great information.

In all fairness, the Internet is only free to those who don't have to pay to maintain it. I'm sure the networking and server support costs associated with the the Internet are well into the millions of dollars (in addition to the initial Federally-funded ARPA investments). You will also find that some of the Internet's most useful sites (for example, Wikipedia) rely on either donations, subscriptions, or hundreds of pop-up ads.
