Issues & Fixes

We have fixed the following critical issues:

437 - We have added an activation warning t the top of every page for users that have not activated their accounts. Users must first activate their accounts before any alerts will be delivered.

537 - When updating a club event, there was no way to update the reminder date for all subscribers. We have now added the ability to override reminder date when editing the club event due date.

567 - When texting yourself a reminder, some users, depending on their timezone, had a due date 1 day off of the proper due date.
