Question
It would be very helpful if the system would actually show the dates which have been set for vacation to confirm that the update has been received and acknowledged when the vacation information is put in.
It would also be helpful if there was a chart of some sort on vacation setting page which gave a date/time comparison for GMT to Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern Time Zones.
It would also be helpful to allow answers to be read longer than three days. I understand the server cannot hold then forever, but why not post them if they are not requested to be private? I was not able to get to Katie's answer within 3 days (due to being busy with answering my own questions and trying to prepare for the holiday) and I essentially have no answer because it was not posted in her forum of questions and it was removed from the server.

When the system fails to put Experts on vacation when requested, it might tend to burn Experts out. That would be a shame because this is a valuable resource for many people!

Thank you for your time and service.

Answer
Brenda, thank you for your suggestion.
