about 4 hours agoDomsMom commented on Champaign ParkThis park needs some tlc. The track and picnic area is nice but the slides are old school metal and it needs to be filled in to make the drop not so bad.

2 days agoChanges and fixes for the week ending 5/12/2012
- Help! We've added a new help page where you can send us a help request! Help page.
- If you've added a video to your project, the video will appear first, instead of your photos.
- When you complete a task, you will no longer switch to the Project Leader/Mile Marker 1 section. You will stay in the section where you are checking tasks off.
- We've added helpful reminders on certain pages and on certain actions that let you know about next steps you should take. For instance, if you've added a video for the contest, you'll see a reminder that tells you to complete your grant application.
- We've added City and State options to help donors and volunteers narrow down search results.
- Created a new badge: Maurice Sendak Tribute. Read all about it.
- You can now sort the comments within your project by Newest First, Oldest First, and by the poster's name (A-Z).
- Dozens of smaller errors from getting Team Members to appear correctly to fixing the alignment of content to comment dates and many more.
Many of those smaller errors we fixed were found by people like YOU!
We really appreciate all the phone calls and the emails we've received from our brave Early Adopters. The time you take to let us know of a problem really goes a long way towards making this a fantastic tool to help you plan your dream playground. Please keep those calls and emails coming-- and don't forget our new Help page too!
