When adding a service area or a company type in your profile, and it is a duplicate you would get an error.

The system now ignores duplicates.

The same problem existed within projects, and has been resolved as well.

Update

May 5th, 2010 by Paul

There were delays with our email provider google apps. We have implemented a new system, this has sped up some areas of our website that rely on emailing.

Also some project info on completed projects was not showing up, this was rectified.

After moving servers the time zone was not reset, this should be rectified tomorrow. Dates and times are well off.

This issue is still being worked on. We might need to change servers or our timezone class. Eta may 08 Midnight. PST

RESOLVED!

We have modified our code to adjust, it was actually a simple fix. Everything should be back to normal.  All dates in the system are based on your Login Profiles City.

New Bug Tracker - FogBugz!

May 2nd, 2010 by Paul

Now implemented is fogbugz, a free to use for start-up or students requiring bug tracking capabilities.  This program came highly recommended from a past contributor to ccdex. I must say i am quite impressed.

If you find a bug, or any issue with ccdex or its counterparts please by all means submit them to our new bug tracker located at https://ccdex.fogbugz.com/

With the addition of this wicked software we hope to start implementing proper version releases, which ultimately brings a new responsibility level and accountability to the project.

Default Country based on IP

May 1st, 2010 by Paul

Fixed a few issues with the country detector, pages that require a country to be selected will now auto load.

By clicking the country flags at the top left of the CCDEX home page you can switch between countries.

Switching between countries might change, as it seems to be a hot topic. More to come….
