I'll take a stab.<br>

>From the bb.html page you can access the administration->acknowlege
event page. The access is restricted by htaccess, so create your
htpasswd secrete file first. Therein, you can ack an event, specify how
long the alert should be ignored, and why. The color of the check
would change to a yellow check mark. click on it
will say the information you entered when acknolwged (who/how
long/why). So your teamates can go back to their picnic, assured that
Mr. Smart is working on it.<br>
<br>
As for the no-pin option discussed in the thread, it affects how you pick an event to ack<br>
* with no-pin in effect, you get a list of event to pick<br>
* w/o no-pin in effect, you enter a PIN number embeded in the SUBJECT of the email alerts.<br>

you use this '--no-pin' to enable ack w/o PIN # from email ? I am using
