Some HUGE improvements have been made to the LSU Local page which may be of interest to all members.
I have added several new locations to the grid, in addition to the new Support Groups based on Location and on the Types of Equipment members are most familiar. We have many members who are having issues in the field simply because the equipment manufacturers do not offer the support needed for certain types of equipment-especially out dated or earlier versions. By visiting this page and joining a group based on your geographical location and the types of equipment you use in the field, it will become easier for you down the road to quickly get support on issues by simply asking a question to the related group, which will then send a real time support ticket out to all other members of that group. This can make response time and turnaround in less than 5 minutes once the groups become populated with members who know what they are doing and other members who are learning. Each group will have its own dedicated troubleshooting discussion forum and the latest updates from manufacturers in those related groups. In addition, these groups can be accessed from any mobile phone so getting the help you need from the field should no longer be an issue.
For your convenience, I've added these new groups to this blog post. If you'd like to join a group, simply click on the group below which will take you to the LSU group for you to join.
