We've made some updates

In the past few months we have made some updates to the 'bank-end' (!) of the website as follows:

  • Fixed a problem where the zip/postcode radius of the alerts wasn't working
  • Stripped out the system that automatically detected where users were from (this was interfering with search engines coming from the US and was damaging our search engine rankings which in turn means less users to the site)
  • Test and implemented a new homepage that encourages users to register before searching (we hope this will mean more users joining the site = better for everyone)
  • Have developed a system that checks for users with old inactive email address and takes them off the site until they re-activate - meaning active users stop being disappointed that no-one gets back to them.
  • Fixed some bugs with the musician's search engine
  • Have developed a new system for announcement that gets rid of some really annoying old announcements and allows everyone to know close any announcements we make.
We're now working on updates to profile pages and premium upgrade accounts.

All comments welcome!
