Mo magic in the user interface...

We've been ticking off tickets like you wouldn't believe and following hot on the heels of 0.5 we have, you guessed it, 0.6!

This release brings our mapping Routebuilder into all its planned glory. To accompany the waypoints from last week we now have live result updates which link to the relevant info box on the map.

We have also made user profiles more obvious, fixed some issues in our datepicker on the forms and done some house cleaning.

Now it is off round the South Island in the van (with the new recycled ski slat bed furniture) for Gwilym and Merle to rustle up some Cooreea interest for a few weeks and (almost) Stefans baby pause :-)

..please, tell me what you think :)

Now that Gwilym and I are back on kiwi soil - loving the summer heat - we're also back into the development of ever better ways to use the cooreea system.

Here is where I require your help. If there is anything that you are having trouble with, you're missing on the site or that works particularly well for you - I would love to hear about it. In order to make this site something that everyone can enjoy and use, we need your feedback :)

Simply email me on merle@cooreea.co.nz and I will try to reply personally to everyone who takes their time and has questions and wish you all happy and safe travels this summer!

So I have logged in but I can't see more details??

A few people have asked what is up with this, well you can see more details if you enter a listing that shows matches. Basically the best way to see the potential of Cooreea is to list some Consignments and Journeys and see what happens.

Rest easy, we are bringing some more features to the live version soon which makes this all a bit easier to navigate through, and more fun.

The difference between private and commercial users

We have been asked by a couple of people what the difference is in Cooreea between a commercial and a private transport provider. We currently do not clearly indicate what sort of users people are as our initial intention was to bring commercial users in at a later date.

We are currently working as quickly as possible to get this clarified and transparent on the site. We intend to let users tag their listings as commercial or private and clearly indicate this back to other users.

If you are a commercial user and would like to give us feedback on how this might work for you please get on touch.

New account signup problems with Hotmail email addresses

We have noticed that people with Hotmail email addresses are not getting our account activation email. It looks like Hotmail is treating us as spam, which is not uncommon for new domains on the net.

If you have signed up but not received an activation email, please email us directly and we will sort it out

Coming up for our next bug fixing release

We are aiming at releasing updates, mainly feature tuning changes, regularly and we are coming up to our second ever update tomorrow or Wednesday.

Our signup page has decided that half the people trying to signup are Robots. Either it is too aggressive or...well...bioengineering has advanced further than AI... so in this next update we will include a major change to the new account registration process. Fixing the Captcha and smoothing the way for new account creators.
