Release Notes 06.04.2002
In this release, we created new features, enhanced others, and updated our subscription programs to make them easier to understand and purchase. With your suggestions as our guide we have given existing features more value, rewritten almost every word on subscription to end confusion, and given you cheaper ways to become a Gold community. All in all, this is a landmark release.
Invisible Forum Gold Community Only
Have you been using that cool tip to hide your forums? Well, we decided to give it to you as an easy to use feature. Now you can make your private forums invisible to all users that are not on the Allowed User list. You won't have to hear "Why can't I go into that forum?" ever again. See how
MBA Enhancement Gold Community Only
Another feature you asked for was an Application description field to use with Membership By Approval. You can now create your own instructional and/or informational message the user will see when they apply for your board. The page will also adopt the colors you have for your community. The background, table background, border, and heading colors will all be used for seamless integration.
Theme Trading Enhancement Gold Community Only
When we released Theme Trading you had several suggestions for improvements and we have introduced several of them. Theme import/export on the board or forum level are now interchangeable. Options, including posticons and emoticons, are also now an available to be imported or exported at the forum and board level.
New Names for our Subscription Programs
CSC Gold Community is now Gold Community & CSC User is now ezSupporter. We hope these name changes will alieviate the confusion between the two programs our "CSC" labeling has caused. Nothing fundamental about them changed except the names. We appreciate all the input we received on the subject and made this decision based on your suggestions. If you too would like a say in the decisions we make - become an ezSupporter and visit the Community Center.
Special Gold Community Introductory Offer - $9.95 for 3 months!
All new and first time communities qualify for this great new limited-time offer. At just $9.95 for 3 months you can have the Gold Community experience. No-ads as well as all the Gold Community-Only features can be yours for this low price. (To qualify your community must never have purchased Gold previously and have an page view average of less than 10,000 per month at time of purchase)
ezSupporter Page View Credit
Has the price of Gold increased because of the success of your community? Now, all ezSupporter page views will be subtracted from total page views. This means an immediate decrease in the cost of all communities that are over the base price and are frequented by ezSupporters. Thus, the more ezSupporters you have at your community the lower your price will go.
New and Improved Payment Process
We've completely redesigned the entire payment process for both Gold Community and ezSupporter to make it easier and more intuitive for you. Everything about the process is now easier - from accessing the payment screens to understanding the programs to making payment - you'll notice the difference immediately. We look forward to your feedback and suggestions on further improvement.
