INTRODUCTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off, I'd like to thank you for reading our newsletter! By reading this you can keep up to date with our community. You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PROFILE VIEW
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The old profile layout was default and boring. So I rearranged the profile page layout to spice it up a bit. Check it out, it now includes more camp-specific questions, a time zone map, your favorites (music, books, etc.), and much more!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AVATAR AND PROFILE LIMITS INCREASED
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've increased the size limits for both avatars and profile pictures. Profile pictures now have limits of 250x300, 500KB (used to be 100x100, 19.5KB). Avatars have limits of 100x100, 50KB (used to be 100x100, 19.5KB). I hope you enjoy and take advantage of this upgrade!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOME SMALLER ADDITIONS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a few smaller updates to tell you about. First of all, I enabled the quick edit feature on the forums so you can edit your posts faster than before. Second, as mentioned earlier, a new time zone feature has been installed. If you already have your time zone adjusted correctly, it should update automatically. Just to your profile page to view it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
MILESTONES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The site is growing very well. We've hit several milestones this past month. Some of these include having over 70 members (guests and members) online at one time, and breaking 5000 posts! Congratulations to everyone here and thank you for making this possible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW PARTNERS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're pleased to become partners with the following sites:
- The Camp Crew (http://www.thecampcrew.com/)
- Ultimate Camp Resource (http://www.ultimatecampresource.com/).
I'd also like to mention that Ultimate Camp Resource has listed us on their front page, as well as down their menu on their Camp Staff Resources page. So in return, if you haven't done so already, submit your camp activities, songs, etc. to their site! Be sure to mention Talk Camp so they know we're returning the favor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
DONATIONS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being camp staff, we work with limited funds. But if you enjoy this community, show your appreciation by sending us a donation. All donations, no matter what size, are appreciated. If you do donate, you will be upgraded to our VIP members usergroup. This usergroup has a few added perks, such as more PM space as well as other things. To make donating easier (and so you can keep track of how money we're currently looking for), a donation page has been set up. It's located at http://www.talkcamp.com/donate.php .

That's really cool!

You should have, unless you checked off not to receive admin e-mails.

Actually, come to think of it I didn't get one. :confused:

I've got a little tick by getting emails from administrators, and other members... The tick is green if that helps(!)

Congrats Kiwi!

I'm not sure why the newsletter didn't go out in e-mail form. Strange... I'm going to send out an e-mail asking them if they got it...
