| Greetings, Another very popular request in our "Suggestion Box"  has been for the ability to "direct deposit" earnings from cNotes (community notes) right into a group's Gift Point account... And, I'm happy to say, this is now available! For obvious mail swamping reasons, please note that no email notifications are sent about the GPs deposited from cNotes. The group's GP log is the only place to find the earnings. And to help insure other donations don't get lost in the logs, there is also an option there to hide these new cNote fees from showing. I've tested this feature a number of different ways, but I certainly appreciate feedback if anything appears to be 'off' with it. Enjoy! ~~SM |

| Greeting Folks! I come with more good news. A whole bunch of months ago, I added a beautiful little time saver to email. Unfortunately, I tucked it away, defaulted to off... and forget to announce it really anywhere. The good news is ... I remembered all of this tonight! While some of you may have found it on your own, here it is: From your "Email", click to the Options tab. On that page, look for: MouseOver Subject Show Preview  I suggest clicking to turn it on. It does what you might expect -- that is, it shows you a preview of your email message when you mouse over its subject line in the email list; no clicking preview. When you move off the subject, the preview disappears. The feature is defaulted to off because I didn't want to overload the servers with email previews without testing it more, and then I forgot about it. ... Or don't turn it on. It's up to you! But I find it makes email browsing much more graceful and enjoyable. I apologize for forgetting about it for so long.  (By the way, this might also be a good time to consider if you're showing enough emails per page. If you find yourself going from page to page in email looking for things, consider upping your "Per Page" amount. The maximum is 200.) Enjoy! ~~SM |
| Greetings, Another popular request in our "Suggestion Box" was the ability to reward reviewers on the Public Review Page directly with Gift Points from group accounts... And, I'm happy to say, it is now available!Members with access to spend group Gift Points can use this update. On the pop-up to reward a reviewer, a new selector menu lets you pick the group to award from. The system will remember your last selection and automatically set the last group to be the funding source. Please note that this is a session based thing and not an account preference thing -- that means if you go away and come back, it won't remember your preference and default back to your personal GP stash. Along with this update, comes a link to show or hide reviewer rewarding within the group's Gift Point log. One issue I had with this originally was the idea it would flood the GP logs and this filter solves that issue. Based on that, we'll probably take care a few of the other "would flood the logs" requests folks have made. Review and Reward On, ~~SM |
