MeetFighters News

Arranging meetings can sometimes take a bit of doing.

You have to find a place that both parties can reach. You have to arrange a time that fits you both. You have to make sure that you are both on the same page on all the particulars. It gets more complicated when more people are attending, and even more so when you have to set up more than one meeting, juggling all the details of each in your head.

Sure, we have the site messages, and you can view your entire dialog with a person.
There is the user calendars that you can maintain and check.
And on the other end of the spectrum are the fighting events that are designed for sending an open invitation to all site members.

Enter the new Meetings Module. It is designed to keep all the information and comments related to a meeting in one place, all the while allowing you to choose a time and place that fits everyone. It is my hope that this new module will make your fight meetings easier to arrange!

Starting a meeting is simple:

• Either go to the meetings page and click the "new meeting" link on the top of the page.
• Or visit one of the member profiles, and choose the "invite to a meeting" option.

Once the organization of a meeting has begun, you can propose dates and locations, invite new participants, add photos and other information, and so forth. And on the day of the meeting, all participants will receive a reminder. Just to be sure.

In other news: I am still busy collecting feedback on the video service. There is one bug in the code that causes the audio and video to go out of synch sometimes. I hope to track that one down soon.

There's been a number of small changes and fixes:

• There is a new progress bar then you are uploading larger photos or videos.
• It is now possible to disable message notification e-mails, newsletters etc. simply by following a link in such e-mails. (They can be re-enabled any time on the Administration page.
• I am trying to migrate the site to the latest version of Google Maps. (The previous version of the API will be discontinued in May this year.)
• Basque language has been added to the list of languages that you can select.
• Lots of small bugfixes and enhancements.
