SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted November 7, 2003 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted November 7, 2003 SNOW JAPAN - UPDATES FOR THE 2003/4 SEASON Some new features and functionality have been added to Snow Japan today. (As these new features are fairly complex and have been added to a site that was already online, there is a chance that there are some "bugs" in the system - we will be working over the next few days to make sure it is all working without problem.) The main new features are: ============================================ SNOW JAPAN TRIP MAKER: Snow Japan Trip Maker has been developed in response to comments and requests from Snow Japan users over the last few years. We hope that by using Trip Maker you will be able to easily organise trips to snow resorts with friends, fill up those empty spaces in your car, or just find new like-minded friends to travel with to the mountains. Most of all, we hope this new functionality is used and some fun trips result from it! Trip Maker Main Page: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/View-All-User-Car-Pool.php Details: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/tripmaker.html ============================================ SNOW JAPAN BUDDY LIST: A new Buddy system has been developed within the Insider section of the site. The system that we have created allows two people to be listed on each other's "Buddy List". More Details: http://www.skijapanguide.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=9;t=000090 My Buddy List: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/View-Full-Buddy-List.php ============================================ NEW SJ MAIN PAGE: The main page of the site has been redesigned, and now provides a central place where all the most recent updates to the site can be found. New Main Page: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/index.php ============================================ UPDATED INSIDER MEMBER SECTION: Insider - the Snow Japan Members section - has seen some improvements and refinements since last season. Below are some of the main changes: CONTROL PANEL: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/Membermenu.php The main Insider member control panel page has been redesigned to make navigation easier. MINI CONTROL PANEL ON EACH PAGE: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/Membermenu.php You will now find a mini-control panel menu on the right hand side of each Insider page when you are logged in to Insider, making navigation much easier than before. POSTING PHOTOGRAPHS: As an Insider, you can now post up to 20 photographs on your Insider page. ((COMING SOON)) MEMBER PAGES "UNLOCKED": All member pages have now been "unlocked" - meaning that Snow Japan users who are not logged into Insider are now also able to view member pages. This means that your member page will be seen by more people! There have been various other refinements to the functionality in the Insider section that we hope will enhance the experience and make using it easier - go use it and find them out! http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/Membermenu.php ============================================ Details of the updates can all be found in the News section of the SJ Forums: http://www.skijapanguide.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=9 We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has sent in comments and suggestions over the years and especially to the people who kindly helped us out testing the new functionality over the last few weeks and months. Hope you like the changes to the site, and wish everyone a very excellent season! SnowJapan.Com Link to post Share on other sites
