Hi @LizBCN
The purpose of the Forum is to provide a place for members to connect and support each other, although the team has always, and will continue to pass along feedback to the team wherever we can. The Forum team includes people who are sitters and/or owners and want to make sure everyone’s voice is heard wherever possible. But, we are limited in what we can do. We’re not able to request or share company data, and I feel this is in line with many other Forums.
We recently set up the Product Category for sharing important updates and collecting feedback to pass to the Forum team. We can’t always promise that feedback will result in changes, but we always pass feedback along wherever we have the opportunity. Carla explains more about the Product Category here.
The Product team have also encouraged Forum members to take part in beta testing of some forthcoming changes, to help troubleshoot, ahead of the changes going live. There should be other beta testing opportunities in future too. Participating in beta testing gives members the chance to have their voices heard as well.
We understand that people feel strongly about both the five application limit and the overlapping sits update. However, the five application limit has been in place for a couple of years now, and in the case of both updates we have already passed over all the feedback that we can and are unable to continue doing so as it’s been confirmed that no further changes will be made at this time.
We want to keep this discussion open so that people can continue to share their thoughts, but we do need everyone to manage their expectations.
The Forum team worked hard to share feedback and updates for as long as possible but as previously mentioned we will not be able to give any further updates or pass along any further feedback. If that changes in future we’ll be sure to let our members know.
