Updates and follow up

• Please take the time to vote to reactivate the "Thumbs up/Thumbs Down" feature.  Unfortunately, the poll is buried under the "General Indexing" forum, so wiki contributors or users of other forums will not be aware.  Share the link and encourage people to vote if this feature is important to you.

  There is a FGS user badge available now.  Lise would like to see about getting Thomas MacEntee to put out a blast about the user badge, and she was going to put something on the Facebook Wiki community.  Are there any other ideas for getting this advertised?
