1. Photo Ads - This version real time version is not a publication and as soon as someone has a new pic up on their profile it is shown here. Uses collapsible menus for the photo gallery and goes straight to the users profile. The navigation at the top is by timezone but mouse over information tells you what countries are included.
   Javascript needs to be enabled on your browser, and you need to have logged on.
2. ToolTips (eg mouse over the previous word "ToolTips")
   More things such as ICONS that show a status of some kind have more mouse over 'toolTip' info so use your mouse more to have over bits your don't understand. Likewise ToolTip font size is adjusted to yout local browser settings  -you should always be able to read it otherwise it means you cant read the rest of your screen (eg you have a 1600x1200 setting on your 17" LCD flat screen or is that just me?)
3. Hot Edit
   When you are logged on this allows you to edit that bit of content such as your advert or what you are into using a rich content editor. So when you see this next to somewhere in your advert  or one of your articles, just click edit and save - its that simple.
4. Bouncing Email
   No not a new game but when the system checkout your email it is flagged as in error, unknown or rejected. This might be because you have a spam filter that hides your email or you have forgotten to update it, or you are over quota. The problem is explained in a number of reason codes so you can tell if it is a short term or a long term problem.
   Subscribers can look at an advert or profile and see the status someone's email and request that it is rechecked.
5. Email is good
   The system as tested your email and it checks out 100%.
   Subscribers can look at an advert or profile and see the status someone's email and and see just when it was lasted checked.
6. Forgotten password ver 1.2
   This includes includes a revised format for the subject line to it does not look like the virus spam that is out there. The SMTP has had addition changes to it so that you are less likely to have a blacklisted email address.
7. The Changed Password email is now ver 2.7 and has the 'click here' typo fixed. so you can use the email to change your password.
8. Send me my info!
   • This first verified your email address from the server end, if it was found to be ok it then updates the database, it it was bad it will not. You can click on the  [+] button to see the complete Log Detail message. It will return a simple status along with icons such as or if your emails provider does not allow for mail checking you would get  and icon such as you will also able able to issue a email to manually verify your emails address without changing your password. These icons have mouse over info.
   • It then searches for personal information formats it and then emails it to you.

   NOTE:

   This window does not say this email is a member or not a member of the doghouse for security reasons  -like imaging your boss or psycho boyfriend checking out this information. You boss would also have access to your work email content, so he could grab your logon info that way. So there will be a profile lock to stop emails being sent unless you unlocked this.
   However if you have lost your logon info but dont want to be sent your logon info - then what?
   This window also prohibits misuse for example if you want to manually check out loads of email addresses which have nothing to do with the doghouse that IP will be added to the black list (CBL) at locations such as mail-abuse.org
    

9. New Server Commissioning which will mean:
   • no more slow loading pages,
   • no more Portal.thedoghouse vs thedoghouse etc just one site unless you are accessing the site via your PDA or mobile phone.
   • server located next to the Gulf of Mexico -  could have been better placed!!
   • will mean a planned outage as the SQL server is replicated and the applications have been moved - will be a two step process.
   • more features for after the move
   • harmonised one step logon for all applications.
   • simplified interface - thanks you for all your emails.
   • the availability of HTTPS://thedoghouse.org
   • the availability of webmail so you can have me@thedoghouse.org but that is waiting until the the lock down is complete - otherwise all your spammers in Singapore.sg will be bothering the members.

Where you born in the year of the dog or the year of the pig?  If you Mouse over these signs it gives some info about that sign. After a while you can figure out who you are compatible with and who less so. I know it sounds full of crap  but there is something in it.
