Hi folks,

I made a few new tweaks to the website today.

First, we have now have a currency converter for our international members. It can be found under the "Travel Information" section at http://www.anthrocon.org/currency.

Second, we hate spam. We really hate spam. In an effort to more quickly deal with the occasional spammer who shows up, we added the ability to flag any post or comment as "spam" or "inappropriate". An email will be sent to our website team who will then investigate. Note that you must be logged in to flag posts.

We also introduced the ability to send private messages between users. Go to http://www.anthrocon.org/messages to view your private messages or send a new private message.

Finally, we added a bookmarking feature. If you are logged in, the bottom of each post will have a link titled "Bookmark this". Clicking that will add the post to your list of bookmarks. To view your bookmarks, head over to http://www.anthrocon.org/bookmarks.

Any questions? Let me know!

Is it alright if I hug you,
*hug
Well I hope it is, I really hate spam, I do not think there is a way for me to describe my hate for it, words just will not do. Also that book mark idea is really great, seeing as right now over half of my book marks in chrome are something I want to reference or look back on, from this site, it really helps, thanks so much.

I hate spam too.

In a past life (about 1997 or so), I used to be very active in the anti-spam community. Ended up being one of the folks who founded CAUCE, which still exists today.

And in a strange twist, the guy who runs http://spam.abuse.net/ attended the last FurFright convention.

Don't forget that Sanford Wallace came to visit you at your workplace once.
