Wow! A mailbox on the lbna website... very neat feature! Thanks to whomever put in the work to make this happen; I'm sure it will be used by many.

Oooooh, Yeah! That is really cool! I like it. I wonder if we will still
get individual emails for Contact the Placers? I hope so. However it is
also nice to see all the messages for a variety of message all in one spot.

OK, I just did a test and I do still get an email message AND it gets logged
on my LBNA feedback mail account. Good!

There is also a Members link that will search for a member so you can email them, and a list of Park policies by state. I assume Choi is the man to thank.

Yes indeed, our tireless Choi has been busy updating and improving good old Letterboxing North America. He developed the new mail feature because some email providers were beginning to treat forwarded mail (like the notes we send via Contact The Placers) as spam. He put it through an extensive beta test and now it has gone viral ;)

The Park Policies page came about because of a few recent complaints from park managers. This one is going to be difficult to keep up to date, so all Members of LbNA are welcome to help with it by pointing out new or changed policies in their local areas. Myself, I was flabbergasted to find that there is an actual park policy right here in sparsely boxed Connecticut. Who knew? Or a better question, who paid it any attention?

Many many thanks to Choi for his hard work and dedication to letterboxers, Jay in CT
