New Release

Hello Fellow Qlubbers!

This past Monday we put out a new release with some minor improvements we hope you'll like.

GROUP EMAIL
On the heels of our recently released email functionality, we added a few usability improvements based on user feedback.

OPT-OUT: We added an "opt-out" option for group emails. Members are by default opted into the [qlubbname]@qlubb.com email list however they can take themselves off the list at any time from receiving group emails.

HEADERS: We modified the email headers so that emails come from [qlubbname]@qlubb.com. Our email system used to parse the member list individually and sent each member an individual email. This new update helps prevent confusion as to who the message is directed to.

SEND TO LIST: Members can send email either by sending an email to [qlubbname]@qlubb.com or by going through the Qlubb interface and sending an email from the Messages tab. Messages sent from the Qlubb interface are now defaulted to not be sent to the email list and only posted to the Qlubb website.

RSVP

This is actually where we took a feature away in order to be as easy to use as possible. In the past we used to offer the ability to keep sending invitations for pending events to new members who join after the initial invitation was sent out. (Even describing the situation is hard ;-)). Well, we removed this feature for now. While it is certainly a useful feature, it caused confusion for some members. Members can easily resend invitations by using the "reinvite" button.

Along the way we did the usual bug fixes, some wording and usability improvements, rearranged a few screens like the RSVP box, widened the input/edit box for "Useful things", stuff like that.

If you have any questions about any of the features or recommendations for new capabilities, please do not hesitate to contact feedback@qlubb.com.

Thanks!
