I'm attempting a news post even though my brain is now slightly mushy. My apologies for any misspellings or incoherent ramblings.

First off, I upgraded our rich text editor to the newest edition of TinyMCE. I've been wanting to do this for a while since our previous version was very old, and because I thought it might make things a little easier for our authors who write in Google Docs. The new editor will import things like bold and italics easier than our old editor did. Also, it has a handy spell checker built in (no judgement ).

Last month a number of people mentioned that they liked having the reviewer list that highlighted reviewers who go the extra mile with their reviews. I added a link on the bottom of the Members of the Month section on the main page that leads to a list that will update every month with reviewers who have at least 15 reviews of more that 5 words.

Just like the reviewer list, a number of our site features have come from member suggestions. Previously, suggestions would come from the shoutbox, a PM or email to one of the admins or an email to the site inbox. Because we had so many places suggestions might end up, it would be hard to keep track of them, and they weren't centrally located, so it was hard for us admins to get together and discuss them. However, we now have a suggestion box to remedy that situation. We're kind of out of space in our top navigation bar, so the link for the suggestion box can be found down in the footer. Once there, you can submit a suggestion, or you can second a suggestion that has been added (just like you can second a challenge). I have a test suggestion up there now (which will obviously be rejected) just as an example so you all can see what it looks like. The admin team will look over every suggestion that comes in, and will determine if it's something that we're able to add as well as if it's something that a number of our members would use. Please keep in mind that we're all volunteers, so an admin response may take some time. Also, even if a suggestion is popular or seems simple, we may not have the resources or coding know-how to make it happen. Even if it's something that a larger archive has, keep in mind they have teams of coders and lots of money; We have 2 Americans and an Australian . That said, we want to make this your Spuffy home where you love to read and contribute. We hope to use the suggestions to get us even closer to that goal.

Please let me, Megan or Kathleen know if you have any questions. If you notice any technical glitches with any of the new (or old) features, please send me a PM.
