Daylight Savings Time...sucks

Today, all the slots times were displayed one hour later than they actually were owing to a bug in the date formatting code. Annoyingly, this bug only manifests on the actual day of the changeover. This was purely a cosmetic goof: the times on the sheet were correct, they were just displayed wrong. Still, it is very confusing for anyone looking at sheets today.

I hate daylight savings time.

"Events" are no more

The "Event" concept was intended to staple several signup sheets together and allow volunteers to consult a single "master" signup page for all slots in all sheets. It never really worked as intended, and confused users to boot, so the event interface has been removed.

Week view for signups

Two more new signup sheet formats! You may now select:

• Week - Just Description
• Week - Just Name

which shows the slots in a calendar-style week format. Hovering over a slot will bring up a summary of the slot information. Handy for booth duty at the Fall Festival...

Calendar view for signups

Just added three new signup sheet formats. You may now select one of:

• Month - Just Description
• Month - Just Name
• Month - Just Time

which shows the slots in a calendar-style month format. Hovering over a slot will bring up a summary of the slot information. The original list formats have been renamed to:

• List - Name, Time, and Description
• List - Just Name
• List - Name and Description
• List - Name and Time

to keep them all grouped together in the format menu.

D'OH!

A configuration error on the signupahead.com site prevented pretty much any access to the site for the past 24 hours. This has been corrected and the site is working normally again.

Email confirmations

The signup sheet now sports a checkbox to send an email confirmation of the slots you signed up for. Yay!

Fixing "recent"

User feedback pointed out that the "my sheets" and "my slots" pages / emails were less than helpful, in that they listed items based on when the item was created, rather than the more intuitive last update. Plus, "my slots" was sorted by sheet rather than by slot.

This has been corrected; all three "my" pages / emails now use the update time to select and sort items in the list. So now when you ask for recent slots, you get a list of recent slots.
