SPU is back!!!0

Posted In Site News

Yes, we are really back online and nearly back to 100% functionality. There will be some tweaks over the coming week or two as people are using the site and no doubt find problems

A few changes:

New home page -

There is now an SPU home page which will become the public face of SPU. This is where I (and hopefully other contributors) will start posting various bit of industry and general photography info. Start making SPU a bit of a one stop shop for matter related to surf photography. It will also be the place to get membership information. All more specific business documents and other downloads will remain member only features.

Member/Business directory -

I’ve been working on this today however it isn’t quite ready (but will be soon). This is where all PAID members will be able to upload full contact details, biography as well as a few sample shots. This will be for members actively looking for photography work. You never know who will come across the site.

Competitions -

The are coming, really!! Will upload more details soon however I plan to launch the first one on the 1st of August.

Subscriptions -

Since there has been so much down time I will be adding several months onto everyones membership. This may take a few days as it is a manual process. For members with expired accounts I will announce a new date by which subscription renewals will be due.

Buy and Sell plugin -

This is still playing up. Once fixed I will be re-installing it.

Twitter and Facebook -

Yep, jumping on those bandwagons too -

Well, thanks again for being patient. I’m sure there will be a glitch or three in coming days but I’ll do my best to keep all running smoothly…

Cheers,
