New Feature: Add Yourself
We’ve been adding a lot of new features to the site recently, but haven’t been updating the blog to let everyone know about them. (Sorry!)
One feature we’ve just added, though, is definitely worth mentioning: An “add yourself” option when adding users to a proposal.
New Feature: Reviewer Messages
Call admins can now email reviewers using the Messaging Module!
Something’s Different…
Some of you may have noticed a different look to our public pages (and slight changes to some of the pages on the back end of the site). That’s because we’ve had work

New Feature: Public Description
If you’re a call admin, the next time you go into the general-settings area for your call you’ll see a new field (labeled “Public Description”) that you can use to customize the text that gets displayed on the public call-details page (aka the call landing page).
