Whats Happening?

Starting in March 2009, the user sitehelper in discussion with Mathew and Marc launched an initiative to renovate the main pages and (hopefully) make navigating the site easier and the actions available more clear.

• A user score system - a preliminary version of user scores allowing users to build your reputataion? was rolled out in mid march.

• implimenting a stars system - on april 2 a 5-star rating system for pages was implemented to make the rating of positions easier and more consistent.

• community tools
  • links to users and their home pages were made active for all new users and if you mouse-over a user link you should see their user rating and "last seen" date.
  • internal messages - you can now send messages to other users. while keeping personal email addresses private, the site will convey messages of a normal priority or higher by email to the user (if they don't have messages turned off).
