    Hello all, I hope you are doing well.

    Now the website is fully up and running, with old content almost complete (its just a matter of linking stuff at the top bar, but theres no 'easy' way to do that on this version of the software) I am now starting to add user permissions. This makes some members have higher power than others, currently its a free for all, which is not so bad with this many users.

    Once permissions are in place it will be easy to distinguish between Committee members, Donators and moderators on the forum who can post where and what.

    Account upgrades are also being introduced. These are paid upgrades that give you more flexibility, for example the 'Trader' account upgrade allows you to post more than two items in the marketplace.

    Other upgrades allow for simple donations as well as increased power such as moderator status.
    Currently you can not buy these, and are still being developed, but once available all funds go towards EYRG for the benefit of the group and not for profit or personal gain.

    Please leave your suggestions for additional account upgrades through a reply, currently we have:
    Donator, Trader and Moderator

    Also: Thanks to the activity of the 'BBC News Feed' we are now the top ranking page in all search engine results over the East Yorkshire Ringing Group!

    In other news...

    After wrangling with facebook's API, you are now able to simply log in with your facebook accounts for those hip social types.
    Simply logout (if you haven't already) and click log in with facebook. Don't worry if you already have an account, the system recognises this and asks for your EYRG.net account password to merge the two.

    NB: You will have to allow the application EYRG.net on facebook access to your details for this to work. We do not see/collect any information from facebook, if you have any concerns over privacy involving facebook and your account in general please send me a personal message.
