Hi Everyone

As you may have noticed...............the web site has changed. And for the better!!!

It has new graphics/photos and all the pages have been completely rewritten. You should also find that the navigation is a lot better and things are a lot easier to find.

There are several changes to the way you can upload photos onto your members page

Forgotten your password information when you log in................There is a new look log in box that has a button for those that have forgotten their password information. The web site will automatically send you an e-mail reminder if you follow the steps correctly. Try it out

Speaking of which...................e-mails. Most members change their e-mail addresses from time to time. Approximately 80% of your e-mail addresses on our data base are wrong. So please take the time to update your contact information in the "your account" section.

If you find any bugs or things not working properly, please contact Rex or myself (or post on this forum) so we can make the necessary fixes and changes.

We owe FEGA member Bill Gamradt a huge round of applause for this. He has taken on, and done, what the professionals wouldn't touch. Not only is the front end (what you see) completely revamped but also the back end (what you can't see) so that the administration of the web site is vastly improved.


Cheers
Andrew

Hey Andrew, this is great! I hope that this site will be used much more often now...guess I better try to think up a thread to put my actions up to my talk.

And a big Thank You to Bill!!

Hi Sam

Glad you like it. :-)

Yes, Bill is nothing short of a genius getting this up for us. It's been a real marathon over the last few weeks.

It also means that Rex, our web master can edit everything by himself without having to call in outside help. This means everything can stay current and be done quickly.

We also have our eyes on the future.

We are researching streaming video so that you can purchase and download the seminar DVD's onto your computer This will save on postage no matter where you are in the world and give instant access. Hopefully we can make it work for us.

And over time we will look at changing the forum to V-Bulletin so it comes into line with all the other forums. There are a couple of technical issues with that but they can probably be worked around.

So, onward and upward my friend!!!

Cheers
Andrew

You gentlemen are the tops and always step up to the plate for the Guild.
This is a greatly improved site and such a valuable tool for all engravers.
