Revival of Old Features- Referral System, Bulletin, and GIGs
Stephen RobinProject Analyst Trainee| Ministry of Works and TransportArima, Ari, Trinidad and Tobago
What is the feasibility of these features possibility being able to be brought back with a new and revamped system for each? These features include: Referrals Bulletins GiGs
Pardon my ignorance as an individual that has only been using this website consistently for a couple of months. I would want to know the reasons why these features were discontinued.
I personally see the value of each one and how it enhances the experience in projectmanagement.com. Especially the GIGs.
If it is something not carded for the future, out of the three, which one would you wish that they could revive? Saving Changes...
I'm actually not familiar with any of these "retired" features, but perhaps Laura, Kimberly or Heather could provide insights...

Hi Stephen - GiGs, also know as "gantthead interest groups" were part of the site many years ago. Bulletins were part of the GiGs as a way for the GiG leaders to post announcements. The direction of the community changed and therefore GiGs were retired from the site. I'm assuming the "referral" you are referencing was the "refer a friend" feature? If so, that was the ability to send an invitation, via email from the site, to a "friend" to sign up. It was a feature that was not used often and therefore retired as well.
At this point in time, there are no plans to revive any of these features. I hope this helps!
