Hello!
I hope this is the right place to start this - I have 2 suggests for functionality or features that I think would be useful:
1. Alerts: Have an email alert sent to someone when a new post occurs in the forums. The user could subscribe to the alerts, being notified on any new posts, posts under a specific topic, or only responses to a particluar post.
2. Blog Names: It would be great if we could name our Blogs, instead of just "BJ Ames's Blog" ?
Thanks!
BJ

Requests for Features
If these already exist, I've not found them yet -- sorry!
- Friendly URLs for Teams/Individuals/etc.
- Email address within Convio to send/receive R4L correspondence rather than having messages jumbled in with all my other e-mails
- Pixels adjustment from original size by percentage -- rather than having to know the exact heigh x width (change one and the other ajdusts or change by percentage)
- Participant types -- active v. inactive
Request for features
Amy, point 1 is answered below, I'll transfer point 3 to the existing enhancement request post on the ROCN Forum. Point 4 is already there, and point 2 is unlikely to be considered in view of the alternative I mention below.
1. Friendly URLs - They can be specified by the TC or individual in the Participant Center. For the participant, the link is on the Welcome page, to the right of the Welcome line. For TCs, it's on the team progress page.
2. Convio email - Interesting suggestion, but I suspect it'd be an administrative and technical challenge for Convio, and add to the cost of the service for ACS. Many Events opt to get a free email account from gmail, Yahoo!, hotmail..., e.g., TiftRelay@gmail.com, and the account is monitored by the ROC and Event Chairs.
3. Pixel adjustment - The Webpage editor could benefit from several enhancements, and this is a good one. For image manipulation before uploading, a suggested tool from last year, IrfanView, freeware from http://www.irfanview.net/, is excellent to resize and manipulate images.
4. Participant types - I surmise you mean displaying in EMC / Manage Participant Types, a flag indicating the status of each. Concur; it's already on the list.
