Hiya!!!
In response to a few thoughts put forward by other Exchange Participants recently I've sought out a possible solution to the problem which sometimes befalls us - forgetting to sign up for or send off a particular exchange!
Please can you all give it a test run and see if it works for you and let me know! If it's successful I'll keep it up
Basically you need to go here and click on 'Register'.
It will ask for a 'User ID' - NB: I would really appreciate if people would stick to their DIS names, this will help me with the admin of the calendar. Thanks!.
Next give a password and the email address to which you would like DIS Exchange reminders to be sent.
When you have pressed submit you will be taken into the calendar. From here, if you click on a date on the left and it has an exchange either sign up closure or send out deadline relevant to it, they will be shown. For example, I have put in all sign ups that are currently running and all exchanges for which the send out date has not yet passed. So you could click on 10th September.
I have coloured the events the same way as the index. Sign up closures are in red and send out deadlines are in blue.
I've included links back to the sign up threads and sent/received threads as well.
Now then, say you want to be reminded two days before the send out deadline for each exchange you sign up for only - this is what you do...
Go to the deadline date (once it has been entered in the calendar, I shall strive to update this at the same time as the index to be easier for everyone!) then click on the 'Reminder' link. This will reconfirm the email address and let you select how many days before the event you want reminding. Simple!
Do this for all exchanges you sign up for, I think you can even get multiple reminders for example - you might want reminding every day!! Just set up a reminder for 10 days before, 9 days before, 8 days before etc etc.
Please let me know what you think of this and how I can improve the service. Exchange organisers work really hard to keep everything moving along, I only hope this can help make the job a little easier for them!
I've included a link to the Index and a link to PM me at the top of calendar as well.
