• Adding a "renewal" section to all wish lists that prompts you to review items that are more than one year old.  This will help keep everything up to date.  The renewal section is contained within a red box, so if you don't see one on your wish list, then your items are all relatively new.
• Updating the delete confirmation message to include the name of what you're deleting.  This seems like a minor change, but it really frustrated me whenever I got the "Are you sure you want to delete this item?" message since I was never 100% sure I clicked on the right button.  This change eliminates that chance of deleting the wrong item.
• Site migration.  We migrated the site to a new server that's more stable.  This means less errors and better customer service since the server belongs to my husband.  :)  I've been still ironing out the kinks surrounding the email accounts, so I apolgize if you received any errors or didn't receive a response to a message sent from the site.

There are also a few other things we're working on for the immediate future.  Some additional enhancements you'll see include: adding the ability to anonymously purchase an item, the ability to add an item marked as "partial" to your shopping list, the ability to sort others' wish lists by name, importance, price and status, and finally the ability to email your wish list.

We hope to have these changes done within the next few weeks, so please check back!  As always, keep tabs on the Administrator's note on your dashboard for the latest information about the site.

Cheers!

Where has the year gone! Well, with half of the year almost over, I've been thinking of more enhancements for the site! In addition to some of the items listed below, I've been coming up with even more ideas. Such as:

• Ability to add multiple wish lists that can either be public or private.
• Ability to move items between wish lists.
• Ability to set a particular wish list as default for your subscribers.
• Changes to the site's session variables (behind the scenes) to help things run smoother.
• Possible addition of subscription approvals (similar to friends requests on Facebook).
• Ability to sort wish list items by price, importance and purchase status.
• Overall site redesign (look, layout & colors).
• Build a mobile site that's easily accessible by smartphones.

• Re-thinking partial purchases so items marked as "partial" (by someone other than you) can still be added to your shopping list.
• Adding a "renew" button for items you'd like to keep on your list year after year. This button will wipe out any purchase status or comments made by other members.
• Re-adding the link from the shopping list to that particular item's details.

• printing a member's wish list
• emailing out your wish list
• updated shopping list format
• password/username recovery
• enhanced item comments options
• and more!

• Password recovery tool.
• Send your wish list to one or more email addresses.
• Invite family members and/or friends to NUS.
• Print a member's wish list.
• Site redesign.

• Estimated Price - Add an estimated price or range for each item on your wish list!
• Multiple web addresses - You can now add up to three different web addresses per item! All links are also "clickable"!
• Item description formatting - We've added a feature that saves the line breaks in your item's description. For example, if you want to add a new item that lists all of the DVDs you want, you can list them out as follows:
  - DVD 1
  - DVD 2
  - DVD 3
  When other members view that item, the information will appear the way you originally keyed it.
• Purchaser Information - When viewing a person's wish list, you can now see who marked an item as "purchased" or "partial".
• Item Comments - You can now add comments to any item on a member's wish list!
• Session leak eliminated - For those of you who experienced random error messages and involuntary "log outs", we've added some code which will hopefully keep the problem happening again.

The above enhancements are just a taste of the exciting changes we hope to make to the site in the near future! As always, we value your input, so please feel free to contact us with any suggestions you may have!

A shopping list is now available! Can't remember everything you've purchased? Click on "My Shopping List" under Member Tools to see everything you've purchased on one page!

12/07/2008
New features have been added! You can now view how your wish list looks to other members (without the purchase information, of course)! Also, comment functionality is now available on an item's detail page! At this time, you can only post comments, but new features are soon coming which will allow you to edit and delete your comments as well! In the meantime, this should help with items marked as "partial" since you can at least post what items you already purchased.

Stay tuned for more updates and enhancements! Thank you for your patience!!

• Remove all pop up windows, and use standard pages instead.
• Ability to click on a link when viewing a member's item information.
