Attention law firm IT people

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Just a request, and maybe you can provide an explanation of why this happens too. Can you please train the lawyers and legal assistants that you work for to actually attach a document when they’re sending it to an outside entity, like the one I work for? I’m really tired of getting yelled at by my users because they can’t open the attachments when all that really got sent to them was a link to the document as it exists in your document management system. Obviously, from here, that link is useless.

Thanks, I’d appreciate it! 🙂

Update: Dennis Kennedy provides some insight, and a good suggestion for people in my shoes, in response.

    Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like if you’re going to make a major media announcement about the new look of your homepage you should make something truly different. The new beta Yahoo page just moves things around. (Probably so that the banner ads show up mid-page instead of at the top where they…
