Welcome to the new-look Forkliftaction.com News. With this edition, we bid farewell to the text version of the newsletter and now readers benefit from the immediacy and interactivity of the web-only version. Besides a new, more contemporary look and feel, we have a new mailing engine behind the newsletter which should ensure that readers get their news a bit faster – and our staff get to go home a bit earlier! You’ll find smoother interaction with our archives and Discussion Forums and all our other online resources. And for the first time, you can select RSS feeds. But stay tuned, because there is more to come. In the next few weeks, we will progressively be adding more features to further enhance your reading experience. So, watch this space…
On a practical note, some readers may not be able access this week’s newsletter because they’re not logged into the website. You will need your password to log in, and if you have forgotten it, you can retrieve it here. The password will be emailed to you.
