These are the latest changes/ improvements to the site:

Emails
We now have:
Email notification when you've got a new PM (Alleycat)
Email notification when one of the ToyVoyagers on your MyVoyagers list gets a travelog update.
Bugfix: Email now working again for password reset


Member list
The member list now includes the date that the member was last active and the country.


Apostrophes should now display correctly
Bugfix - apostrophes did not display correctly in the View Voyagers screen and at the top of travelogs.  This is now fixed.

That's great! B) I only have a little question:
As for the "Email notification when one of the ToyVoyagers on your MyVoyagers list gets a travelog update" - do have to activate this feature somehow, or will it start automatically?

I was just wondering something : there is an email notification when one of the ToyVoyagers gets a travelog update, but is it only in this case, or is it in the case we edit the travelog too ?? (I asked that because I often do my updates using the "edit" function when I have many pictures to add for exemple, so I hope people don't receive an email each time I click on the edit button !!)
Thank you for letting us know.

It is only when you create a new update that a Travelog email is sent.  When you use the edit screen it does not send an email.

Receiving an email notification when you have been sent a PM was the feature most requested by members as a way to improve the website and people's use of it.  To us it was important to make it available as soon as possible.

We will be adding something into the Control Panel that will enable you to switch the email notifications off.  We will let you know as soon as this is available.

Yay! :) Thank you so much for this option! :)

I think maybe it's worth having the PM and travelogs notifications separate, so people can switch on the PM notification but not travelog updates, if they're watching a lot of TVs.

Ok, these are now available.

In Control Panel, under 'Edit Preferences' there are two new tick boxes that allow you to switch the PM and Travelog notification emails on/off.

That's great!

Just a question for the countries: Do the peoples' countries also appear under their avatar when they posted something or just on the member's list? It would be quite helpful to have them in the postings, too I think...

Hi Christina,

Currently the country / flag only appears on the profile and member list. However - strangely enough we are currently working on getting country/flag onto the member details by posts and travelog updates. We started the work when we added the "last visited" info. It's almost there, we will let you know as soon as it is done.

Kind regards,

Isobel and Neil

Country / flag is there now against forum updates, the Travelog changes will follow later...

If you cannot see a flag by your name it means your location details are not currently set. To set them, go to 'Control Panel', select 'Edit Profile' and choose your country from the list.
