  Additional text styles, hiding unfinished pages and more 

  Some people complain that August is a slow month. This year, we could not complain (actually, maybe we could!) - August has been very busy and exciting. On the one hand, quite a few of our team members took their well-deserved vacations. On the other hand, we had to keep pushing ahead with new features, polishing off some stuff after our major release in early August which included online payments functionality (you do not want to mess up any financial transactions!) and reacting to user feedback.

  Update released. Direct editing of HTML code - for geeks out there :-) 

  We have updated Wild Apricot system today. Most updates were about polishing the rough edges (a.k.a. bugs ). One new feature for you tech-savvy early adopters is ability to directly view and edit HTML code of your webpages. To use this feature select your page, start editing ([Edit] button) and then click on the [HTML] button in the editor toolbar. Note: It currently does not allow inserting Javascript code (security precaution) and we are working on other ways to address this need. This is a stopgap Read More...
