CCIM MailBridge Update - May 13

A few small fixes today:

Javascript Timezone fix for Delay Time — The embargo time was calculated based on the creator’s time zone, so messages posted from the east were delayed an extra hour.
Error Message when over attachment limit looks pretty and descriptive — the old message was a java stack trace.
(Internal stuff) When using showmessage, [...]

Improved Email Privacy

We released a new, faster CCIM Find A Professional today, with improved email privacy options. This is in addition to the existing email hiding facility. Currently, your email address is never visible to non-Designees. Non-Designees fill in a web form to contact you without ever seeing your email address. The improved [...]

CCIM MailBridge Update

CCIM MailBridge is a preference-matching email system for the exchange of email among CCIM Designees.
On a typical day, about 8 messages were sent through the CCIMMEMBERS mailing list. In the first hour of MailBridge, we got 45 messages. I think things will settle down a bit as the newness wears off.
We’ve made [...]

CCIM Technology Update for May

For the last three weeks, CCIM Designees have been setting their preferences in CCIM MailBridge and waiting patiently (or not so patiently) for the ability to send mail. We’re turning that feature on May 1, probably around 10:00 AM. Over the last 3 weeks, we’ve migrated MailBridge onto new production servers hosted at [...]

Two new member tools

The Institute is putting two new tools into members’ hands.
Last Wednesday, we turned on a preference matching system for email. It uses phpList as the backend to handle the mailing functions, with our own front-ends managing message composition, preference settings, etc. The system is available now for beta use by the [...]

Steering into Drupal

I’ve been working for the last couple of weeks with Drupal, an open source web content management system and am full of so many positive emotions it’s hard to know where to begin.

Conceptual computers

The CCIM Institute is become just a little more virtual. Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve started replacing aging, single-use servers. Rather than buy another small box for each purpose, we’ve purchased a couple of fast, powerful Dell boxes, installed VMWare, and turned each into a host for several virtual servers.
Currently, we’ve put [...]
