Hi all Minti members,
We have been fixing bugs, and some of the fixes have been uploaded.
I will update you on which ones soon.
Thanks
Clay

some people have complained they can not upload photos.
so here goes a test...
I CANT UPLOAD AND SELECT A NEW PHOTO
I can only select from a list of existing photos (I think the list is all the photo's from MintiV1)
Will note this bug and let the tech guys know.

just to let you all know that i have read all your feedback and captured all the bugs and the team will be meeting in 24 hours to prioritize which ones to squash (fix) first.

Cheers
Clay

PS: sorry that some of you dont like the new changes

Hi Minti members :)

When you view someones photo, please take the time to tag the photo.
It helps improve our Photo search results.

Thanks
Clay

LIttle update on our US trip.
Starting to settle in.
Rach caught the flu off dad the other day and so did I a bit so we are trying to consume as many vitamins as possible.
We are also able to get online now as we went and bought some verizon pc cards. So good to be online.
Better go now - have to duck down the shop and buy some supplies.

We flew in yesterday.
Codi was great on the plane (thank god for laptops and "cars the movie" DVD).
We are currently based in Menlo Park, CA.
Still all have major jet lag... will take a few days to settle in.

On Sunday night I spent 5 hours clearing out my inbox... I am one of those poeple that dont like emails in my inbox.
It's only 10pm on Tue night and I already have 51 emails in my inbox and I have been replying and deleting constantly since Sunday

If this is my biggest problem at the moment, maybe i should stop whining

Well Rachel and I are currently considering living in San Francisco for 3 months.
