Excess Site Storage Charges begin
Originally advertised for March 1, we've allowed an extra 6 months for you to settle in after a bumpy transition. From September 1 we need to start charging for sites with more than 1GB of disk space on their website. Your current disk space usage can be seen on your dashboard. Full details on what to do if you are near of over 1Gb (1,000MB) can be found here: http://web.adventistconnect.org/forms/46/form_submissions/new
Reminder: New Getting Started netAdventist Manual
 Last month we launched an all new “Getting Started Guide” for netAdventist V3. Download it here.
This is the best resource to help any user get started with netAdventist. If you spot any errors in this guide, let us know and well fix them.
NEWS FLASH: this guide, or adoptions of it, are now being use to help netAdventist users around the world. Another fine example of how a common worldwide web-system for the Adventist church is proving to be beneficial.
