Nathan, only your events that you have made public will appear on the RSS feed. This is to prevent events of a personal nature to get broadcasted out to whomever subscribes to your feed. To make an event public, click the "Make Public" button at the very bottom of your event page. This basically makes the event show up on your profile page and it will appear on the RSS feed. Thanks!

Having this issue as well. Don't really care about the personalized RSS name, although that would be nice, but no events are showing up.

We've been manually creating clean URL's like that for very active users. We can ask Dusty to make you one. Perhaps it's time to just let everyone make theirs. Thanks for calling it out.

kg, yeah, what we have right now is a way to send an announcement to all your guests and pick to which batch (positive, negative, no response). What kind of customizations are you thinking?

Dutchashell,
Just to let you know that we have changed the default emails to digests that send every 3 days, if any. We also created a pretty granular way to pick and choose exactly what you want to get in email - check out your Accounts page for the new interface (http://crush3r.com/account).

Kia,
In the statement up top of the page where it tells you that your email is unverified, there is a link to "resend" the validation email if you didn't get the first one or lost it. Click that and then check your inbox.

If you somehow entered the wrong email address originally you can go into the Account page and enter a new email address. Then click "Save Changes" on that page. That should fire off a validation email to that address.

Hope that does it!

We aren't getting any other reports like this. Strange. Do these particular guests use strict software that only allow validated email addresses in their address book? If you can email me directly at info @ crush3r dot com with the page URL and your sign on I can look to see what the status of the invites are.

As you might expect this is a complex situation. As much as we can we avoid spam and spammers we do. So we need to comply with what the big email providers prefer, so as to avoid getting marked as spam as much as possible. If you can ask your particular guest if they did find it in their spam box and which email provider they use that would help us.

I believe our Engineer here at the time, Russell, had it set up that way (where the organizer's email is the sender) but to better comply with best practices he switched since that other way somehow better alowed spammers to take advantage of sites like Crusher. The reply-to is still the organizer's address and we try to bring in the organizers name into the invite subject line, photo in the content, so invitees don't miss it.

This is something I'd like to continually look into. It's pretty darn important that email providers see us as a private invitation site and not a site for spamming. Thank you for reporting this and please follow up with me and I'll see if we can figure out what happened.

HOW DO YOU VERIFY YOUR EMAILADDRESS???????????

CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO VERIFY IT – KIA, on August 04, 2008 06:24

Hmm, it will only support what Google maps would support. And I've had trouble with them at times - not perfect. Send me the address you are entering at "feedback at crush3r dot com" and I can see if I can help.

Yeah, I've had the same frustration. Just last night as a matter of fact, I forgot to remove the auto-generated tag from a new invite I sent out, so all my meticulously assigned tags are messed up so I had to manually go through each contact and remove it. Probably need to add some sort of batch tag edit process... 'twould be helpful.

+2, please remove the auto-generated tag, just leaving that field blank by default. I've forgotten to remove that on several occasions now.

I agree, a good thing to have. I'm not a coder but sounds totally doable. We're in between switching developers right now and will soon have a new rockstar engineer on board (Dusty). Thanks for putting up with it so far and for bringing it up! We'll look into this soon.

So I totally figured out using the contacts area and managing the guest list.

Now I am happy.

Thanks mr-java. If you love crusher so much click that "I <3> link on the home page and help us spread the good word :)

Ho, ho! Editing the guest panel revealed much!

Wow, thanks!

PS Crusher is awesome! Love it!

Yes, you can get a lot of info and controls when you click "edit" on your guest module. This portion of the guest module is pretty hidden and I will look into making it more prominent.

Also, in your contacts page, you can also click "edit" on individual people in your contact list and give them your own 1) nicknale 2) photo which affect how they are presented in your events.

Katprof,
You can see all the guests you've invited by clicking "Edit" on the guest module. You'll see a complete list and status of each guest. You can also RSVP for them, delete them, and links to printable lists. Yeah, not too obvious. Needs work there.

Another summary is by clicking on the number count in the guest module (i.e. 21 positive responses). The number "21" is clickable and gives you a breakdown by RSVP responses.

Regarding joint-hosting, this is a neat future feature for us. Not implemented yet. There are some work-arounds that are not ideal but worth considering:

- Give whomever the same 'organizer' access to the page as you do. At the bottom of the page you will see a "Co-edit" link. Click that and you will be able to email someone an admin URL. When they go to the page using this URL, they are essentially 'you'. They can edit the page, send invites out, etc. All invites would still look like it is coming from you though.

- If you want invites to seem like it is coming from more than one person, a co-hosted event, you can temporarily change your picture to a picture with multiple people in it, change your pretty name to "name + name", then change it all back to your personal info later. Again, not ideal but you might consider.

- Another way is to create a new account as a 'group', so you don't have to touch your personal account.

We will definitely be considering the co hosting feature. Lots of request for it.

Thanks!
Ericson
