...now, we've been working on nuances in the core quote and booking engine, tightening up the workflow and doing loads of testing. Those items have been fully hammered down, and now we're on to the new stuff.
Our list of new features and enhancements is quite large, over 150, and our beta users have provided a few more on top of that.
As the new year emerges, we're working hard on the list. Here are s...
Last night, we released an update that changed the login, register and reset-password pages; and fixed several minor bugs.
Changes to the Login, Register, Reset Stuff
Besides tweaking the design on the login pages to match previous updates, the login pages now uses a uniform login process that combines the application and website.
To simplify, after the next release (0.7.3) users will have one login...

You can look at the technical details on the update page, but here's a quick breakdown of the big stuff.

You can find the custom paragraph stuff in your property area under the Email Settings tab.
Small stuff, and it's going to be fast. Mostly small tweaks, grammar fixes, enhancements. Your request to have a fixed amount for the first payment was included.

Hi GreenJoe,
Ah yes, the Airbnb-style stuff. HomeAway has been trying to duplicate what Airbnb does for the past two years. I figured that was what you were referring to. We're not terribly concerned about it, given HomeAway's track-record and their marketbase. FlipKey has recently been walking down the same road. Both HA and FK don't seem to realize that many of their customers don't want to be...
....com email address and all emails are sent from it. Then, when guests reply, their email goes back into our system and we track both inbound and outbound emails against the guest. There is a lot of stuff to cover here including a much more robust guest/contact system so it won't be coming for awhile.
At the moment, we've programmed all emails that are sent to include a REPLY-TO header with your emai...
From what I've heard, OR is working on getting channel messaging (i.e. replying through Vrbo, Airbnb, etc.) implemented, so once that goes live, we'll be able to send some stuff there, although rich content like PDF welcome packets and things might still have to go via email, and URLs might get censored (TBD).
I signed up for Touch Stay (they were a vendor at the Scottsdale Vrbo conference). It was ab...
...d from OwnerRez to the channel, overwriting whatever may already be there. If you want to add a new property, don't bother to do that in the channel; do it in OwnerRez, and then let OR push all that stuff to the channel when you turn on the API connection for that property, which is what it's going to do anyway.
2. If you are *not* using an API connection, you can import property listing information...
...f internet including wired internet. Wifi is just that specific wifi.
When you put a comment on the amenity, it'll show on the hosted website.
For the event center, mark it as "events allowed". For stuff like that and also minimum age, the details would go in the text fields and then perhaps in your renter agreement. Again, there's no way for us to enforce that on the channels so it's informational a...
True. But the ARDI coverage here is $20 for $1000. This is $29 for $10,000 plus a lot of other stuff.
HomeAway is trying to get people to elect $49 pdp. This is much better compared to that.
