OpenID
What is OpenID? Quoting from the OpenID Foundation's Web Site
"OpenID eliminates the need for multiple usernames across different websites, simplifying your online experience.
You get to choose the OpenID Provider that best meets your needs and most importantly that you trust. At the same time, your OpenID can stay with you, no matter which Provider you move to. And best of all, the OpenID technology is not proprietary and is completely free."
We have now integrated an OpenID login facility into Kontrolit websites.
Report Abuse
For websites using comments or a forum, we have now bolted on a new report abuse facility which allows website visitors to report abuse if they feel a forum post or website comment is offensive or derogatory.
Latitude / Longitude Finder
For websites with a members directory there is now a facility built into Kontrolit to automatically lookup latitude and longitude co-ordinates based on postcodes entered.
Mailing List Resume Send
For incomplete mailing list sends, rather than having to resend an entire mail again, we have incorporated a new resume send facility to our mailing list module.
