Hi Mitchell

Thanks for very useful input.

Some comments below your points.

1. Can there be a Non-Binary option for gender on profile information?

Yes, definitely. What should it be called?

2. On the public profile, perhaps better to have an email linked than a personal phone number?

This is up to you. You can select public/hidden for each field.

3. On the events, filters with a dark blue background and black print, it’s hard to read. I have to hover over things to read what the filters are.

This is getting fixed now.

4. How do we create ads? I don’t see an option, although I’m guessing it might just be closed right now.

Will make sure this is clear.

5.-Having photos and forums for events are great! Easy to make updates and you can provide maps and pictures.

6. For the professional network, there ought to be some form of vetting before a posting goes live. That way you can avoid a ridiculous number of fake or spam postings. I like the filter options to help narrow all of that down.

You must be registered an logged in to create a listing. There is a captcha check for registrations so I don’t think we will have lots of fake listings.

However, we will keep a close eye on it and start vetting if necessary!

7. I enjoy the aspect of social media, a degree of it feels a little unneeded with the prevalence of social media nowadays, but this way there can be a professional resource to network without too much crossing of wires.

We will see if it gets used! One thing is for sure, lots of our members prefer not to be on Facebook

This is a reply.

Thanks for your input.
Address and phone info is now hidden by default, and the member must enable it actively for it to be shown publicly.

[Oystein Baadsvik]

I believe that the email and phone numbers are not publicly available.
Just like on the previous site, you must log in as a member in order to view this information.

And, only if the member has allowed the information to be available to other members.

Unless of course we have missed something in the development.

Can you post a link to where you found the information open to the public?

[Oystein Baadsvik]

Hi Dave,

It turned out you were right. It was not possible to upload documents to groups. But now it is!

Under Group Settings you can set who are allowed to upload documents.

[Oystein Baadsvik]

This is already possible. In the group you can upload Documents. I believe that allows you to upload different types of files.

Hi Douglas,

The complete Journals as PDFs will be added soon!

[Oystein Baadsvik]

I think you might as well make the group public. We have to try out what are the best practices.
Meanwhile, why not invite users to the group that you know live in the area?

[Oystein Baadsvik]

We had to make the move slightly prematurely because of the ITEC registrations. That means some features are still under construction.

We will have most of the existing functions in place by the end of the year

Hi Deanna

All of the journal articles are now posts in the new website. When you search for posts you get results from all of the journals.

[Oystein Baadsvik]

Good idea. Upcoming

[Oystein Baadsvik]

Sure. What banner do you mean?

We will add those extra payment methods to the Donations
