New Features and Updates

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Hi…

 

It’s been a hellish few weeks. We had a surge of new users that, thankfully, made us aware of many bugs and issues that went unrealized. We have rewritten our trade generator logic which was, ummmm…fun. We have also added new features based on user recommendations to make your Commuto experience much more interactive and exciting. The following features and changes have now been implemented:

 

Security Settings: We have added a new link in your profile page called “Security Settings”. In there you will find the options to control the type of emails you will be receiving from Commuto. You now have the option to control the following emails:

 

  • Promotional Emails
  • Updates and Changes Emails
  • Emails notifying you when Commuto members send you messages

 

You can also control who can send you messages (anyone in Commuto or just members in your communities).

 

Suspend Account: You can now suspend your own account when you will be unavailable for an extended amount of time. Suspending your account will make your profile and all your items invisible to other members until you have decided to reinstate your account. So now when you go on vacation or are sent to jail you don’t have to worry about trade proposals. Actually, jails could make for wonderful trading communities.

 

We have also added the following countries with their states/provinces/regions and cities:

 

  • Australia
  • Austria
  • Belgium
  • Czech Republic
  • Denmark
  • Finland
  • France
  • Germany
  • Ireland
  • Israel
  • Italy
  • Netherlands
  • Norway
  • Poland
  • Portugal
  • Spain
  • Sweden
  • Switzerland
  • Ukraine
  • United Kingdom

 

If you registered from any one of the countries above please go into your profile page and edit your location to add your state/province/region and city. Also, if you have any friends from these countries now is the time to invite them to Commuto. We will continue adding more countries as quickly as we can, and we look forward to providing you with new features as we continue to develop Commuto into the most interactive and popular social bartering site online.

 

Thanks and trade friendly,

Stephen
