It hides once you are activated only to be seen by newly registered members. Sneaky, ain't it?

Definitely! Here I thought I was introducing myself to everyone!

Christian Education is a big part of many Mennonites experience be it homeschool or church school. I would like to see a a place dedicated to discussions on Christian education for both teachers and parents.

I would also like to see a section similar to the old regions section, but instead of regions it is broken out into various constituencies such as by conferences or fellowships, or brotherhoods, and including all Anabaptist affiliated groups including Old Order River Brethren, German Baptist, etc.

Maybe what I am looking for is a more grown up version of MD. Where instead of a place where people go to critique Mennonites and others under the Anabaptist umbrella, it is a place where people can connect and identify with Mennonites or a particular Anabaptist group.

i'm with you, that was a bit difficult to figure out.
frustrating when memory is not ideal, and, when reading multiple times to grasp content is needed.

plus, it can be fun to go back to review the Intro threads, to recall where members began as they entered MD, now MN. (what? no "strike" option!)

Yes, which I explained in that Introduction thread.
I was formerly known as anabaptistenigma, but I decided to change it for this forum for several reasons.
My new name is shorter. When I chose the old name I thought it was a clever handle to depict my search for Anabaptist identity and understanding. I had not anticipated how long it was and how tedious it is to spell it thousands of times.
I also didn't realize it had the potential to cause gender mis-identification, which is something my current title has a very low risk of doing.
And finally, Mrs.Nisly is a title of address that is now being used daily since mid-August and is one that I need to get used to and embrace as I adjust to my new focus and calling as an elementary school teacher. But it still holds the reality of my role as wife and mother as well.

i knew i should have been able to figure this out!
still, since i couldn't, great update. thank you, and congratulations on your new job. lucky children!

anabaptistenigma is a clever username! of course, oft referred to as "ae," for we lazy folk.
good suggestions above, definitely "ae"-worthy.
those are big shoes to fill, Mrs.Nisly.

my Intro was short.
something like, i'm here, 'cause Gene's here.

Better?
