Great job to the tech people for making this and also to Clay, Matt Rach and the mob for allowing these lovely changes happen to Minti.


WELL DONE

Re: Massive NEW Minti Features

Very interesting! This is going to take a while to get used to - are you writing Advice on it? Can I ask what you are doing with the survey info? I tried only filling in the first survey with info I was compfortable with but it wouldnt let me get away with that, so I gave you the $ & postcode info, so I NEED to know. It's only coz I trust Minti - I dont normally give that stuff out!

Re: Massive NEW Minti Features

As I posted on another thread the survey information is only for aggregated use - we want to be able to tell advertisers the "average age" and "average number of kids" amongst our membership.

None of the information will be used on an individual basis and never will it be shared on an individual basis with anyone outside Minti.

Good question

Re: Massive NEW Minti Features

ps I was only guessing on the $ as I dont know the exchange rate - you may want to adjust that later so you get more accurate info.

I have a confession!  I logged in, saw it all and just headed straight to my blog.  Hey, got big changes happening here as it is, and with all this new minti stuff to play around with, I'm going to take a while to work it all out.

Re: Massive NEW Minti Features

OK I've tried to add to my address book but failed with this message appearing even though my address book is empty.

You have just tried to add contacts who already in your
minti address book. You cannot add duplicate contact details.



Help!!!! init_functions[init_functions.length] = "prefill_login_text()"; if ( parent.document.getElementById('infobutton') ) { parent.document.getElementById('infobutton').style.display = ''; }

Re: Massive NEW Minti Features

Oh sorry Mony - we had to go with most popular choices and with limited space and found that groups was the least used... will consider replacing lounge with groups if there is broad support for it ... but not immediately

Re: Massive NEW Minti Features

I definately use the Group tab more than Lounge, because your Homepage shows your lounge already.

The "groups" isn't completely lost though. It's on the left orange bar of a member's page.

Re: Massive NEW Minti Features

Yeah that's true, but I think for those who do use the groups it's easier to use the orange bar at the top, instead of having to go to your profile then clicking on groups on the right.

I'm missing groups in the orange bar at the top!

Re: Massive NEW Minti Features

Visit the member page of the person you want to compliment and look under their avatar image to see the "Give me a compliment" text.

We think it is a little broken at the moment (EDIT - Fixed it! ) but we will fix it up very very soon.  note that you can only give one compliment type to each member once - but with 25,000 members and up to 10 different compliments that is a lot of complimenting

Re: Massive NEW Minti Features

Now I'm confused - I thought you could only recieve one of each gift and multiple of each compliment!
