We implemented the changes to the Volunteer and Event listings
for several reasons:
- The volume of listings has grown to the point where we could
no longer maintain each page manually, and an automated system
was needed.
- The number of listings on many pages was huge (up to 250
on any given day), so the listings were very slow to load for
those with dial-up connections, and offered only limited search
capability.
- Advertisers were asking for more functionality to help them
manage their listings (e.g. extending, editing, deleting, suspending,
reactivating listings).
- Event seekers were asking for more services, such as e-mail
alerts, and better search features that allow them to look for
events of interest by location, event type, and organization
focus (e.g. arts, environment, health etc.).
We hope you find the new features useful and welcome your feedback
and suggestions for further improvement. Please send your messages
