Fixed
10/01/2006
We need to be able to assign people to manage certain features like Visitor's List and Tasks, or Repair Requests without giving them administrative access to the whole site.
We have modified the security system to provide more detailed control over Edit and Administrative access level for each feature, PLUS we have accommodated the use of 'special access rights' for individuals to allow them to administer one section without having administrative access to othrer sections.

07/08/2005
I want to be able to post announcements on the 'News' page
The NEWS page is the first page seen when a user logs in, so it is a useful place to post hot topics and reminders. Administrators will now see an 'edit' button to allow them to change that message at any time.

Who sets the price of Links and Banner Placement on our site, and who collects the money?

Transcibing new user information is too error prone and arduous.

The administrator will only have to change their access level as appropriate to provide proper access.

Display of messages in the discussion areas are becoming slower and slower
We have modified the message display in all discussion areas so that only the most recently active 8 topics are displayed.

The previously titled "History" page is now "User Defined". Administrators can specify the name of the menu link by editing the page and changing the text in the "Menu Text" box. You can now use that page for anything you want.
12/03/2003
People commonly forget to check the capitalization when they log in
The system will now automatically send an email to the user if at least the spelling of their username or email address is correct. The email will explain any problems with their attempted login (capitalization, incorrect password, etc.) and provide a link to re-send their actual username and password.

We would like to list links to local businesses on our site
Each property can now add addresses, links to email and web pages, and can even add banners to their web pages if desired. If you care to sell ad placement, just a couple of listings can more than pay for the full year's fees.
