What is the purpose of Feeback in the Specify application as compared to the web site Forum and e-mail to the Specify HelpDesk?

Feedback in the Specify application (Top Level Menu: Help > Submit Feedback) is one-way communication from a user to the Specify team. The Specify staff will read and consider these comments but will not answer them specifically. Please use Feedback for any suggestions or thoughts you might have on Specify usability and performance.

The Specify web site Community Forum is a venue for the Specify users to seek and offer advice, make suggestions and provide assistance to other Specify users. The Forum is not the best place to seek answers to specific questions from the Specify Project staff, although we read it from time to time and contribute when we can.

Specific technical issues often require a detailed voice or email conversation. Questions best answered by a Specify staff member can be e-mailed to: specify@ku.edu or better yet, pick up the phone and call us at +1 785 864-4400 (U.S. Central Time Zone, GMT -6) .
