Site Update

 So, after a stalled update last week, we have managed to update the Excel User Group site.

It has a stronger 'community' feel with friends that make it easier to track contributions by your favourite authors for example.

Files are now stored under 'Media' and we will be looking to add videos at some point in the future, that will stream in an embedded viewer in the site. private messages have become 'Conversations' and these are viewable on you own personal home page, which is accessed as soon as you log on. When viewed by others, the 'Conversation' panel on your home page is replaced with an 'announcement' panel for you to leave messages for others, such as 'Out of Office' or developer looking for work type messages.

We will be enabling groups shortly and may use this functionality for a 'work exchange' community where authorised developers can advertise their skills and customers could place work to be done. Don't know how it will work, but worth a try.

I hope you like the changes, but as usual we are grateful for any feedback you may give

PS:Sorry we lost the links to avatars, please re-upload and we will be good to go
