Robin's Ruminations

The people at NAPPS headquarters in Portland really keep their ear to the heart of the membership.

After receiving a "few" phone calls and e-mails (OK, and maybe a blog post or two) from members, Gary Crowe, NAPPS Administrator, took the bull by the horns and resolved the Post A Job issue.  Recall that when it was first instituted the Post A Job system would send notification to all NAPPS members, regardless of where the actual job needed to be done.  Well this past week the following was sent out by Gary and his crew.

Dear NAPPS Member:
Fifteen minutes ago we launched the updated version of the NAPPS Job Post which incorporates the following changes:

1)  The member's name and company is placed automatically in the body of the post.

2)  If a zip code is used in the post, only members within a 50-mile radius of the zip code will receive the emailed post.

3)  If only a city and state are used in the post, only members that have a listing under that city will receive the emailed post.

4)  If a city, state AND zip code are used in the post, only members within a 50-mile radius of the zip code will receive the emailed post.

5)  If a member chooses to opt-out of system there is now a simple automated link at the bottom of each post.

6)  Jobs can now be posted in Canada by inputting only the City and State (the state acts like a Canadian territory).  Canadian zip codes will NOT work on this system.

This notice is also being sent to those members that have already opted out of the system in order that they may opt back in.  If you have already opted out and wish to opt back in, please send an email to claire@napps.org with OPT-IN in the subject line.

We strive to make this a useful tool for our members and have appreciated your patience while we have fine-tuned the system.

Gary A. Crowe

Nice!  Thank you Gary, much appreciated.
