For those that have been saying "Pat doesn't give a shit" lately... Actually it is not that I don't give a shit, but rather than I'm working my ass off trying to get some changes implimented around here We are not finished all the changes we want to do, but a number of changes have been made over the last week, and so I thought it about time I post about these.

[1] Message board username field added to escort profiles. We have added a field to escort profiles for the escort's message board username. Any escort can update her profile to include her message board username anytime. This change has been implimented as clients asked if we could add this info to the escort profiles. Soon we also hope to announce that escort access to the private escort forums will be automatic for advertisers who have added their message board username to their escort profile. On the downside, I see many escorts are misunderstanding this field and just putting their name in there, even though they don't use the message boards or have an account, but hopefully in time it will be better understood by escorts.

[2] Translation of Escort Advertiser Logged-in Area into multiple languages. We are in the process of translating this section into multiple languages. We are doing this because we feel many escorts don't have great English and as a result are filling out our forms incorrectly. For example, ladies may be ticking all the favourite boxes not even knowing what half of them mean. Translating this section won't stop escort laziness in filling out forms properly or escort dishonestly, but hopefully it will help genuine escorts without perfect English to get their profiles right. Currently the section is available in English, French, Dutch, Czech and Danish. Over the next few days it will also be available in German, Spanish, Italian, Hungarian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish and Ukrainian, as we are adding these translations currently. If you think we are missing an important language, please let us know.

[3] Escorts can now update their own photos anytime. Yes, that's right, no more emailing E-I to update your photos or not being able to update your photos as often as you like - Escorts can now log in and change their photos as often as they like. Their is no approval process in place, as soon as an escort changes her photos, the new photos will appear on the site. However, every time an escort changes her photos the verification status of them will change to "Awaiting Verification". Our staff get an alert each time an escort's photos change to this status and will promptly mark them as genuine or cannot be verified as genuine. We have also added a space in the escort advertisers area for each escort to add a private (for our eyes only) verification photo of her holding a piece of paper saying "Escort Ireland". We recommend all escorts do this, because it enables us to verify photos quickly and easily.

[4] Escorts can now update all of their profile information themselves with the exception of their name, banner (if applicable), location and tours details or escort type (agency/independent).

[5] Abuse. If any escorts decide to abuse their ability to update their own profile and photos by advertising favourites they don't provide, uploading photos of porn stars instead of themself etc, we will not hesitate to remove their access to the advertiser area. Sorry, but this has to be said before any naughty escorts get bad ideas!

Thanks and keep the ideas coming, but please try to understand their is only so much I can do in a day. We want all your ideas, but we simply can't impliment them all quickly. Some suggestions are actually weeks of work to impliment and people don't seem to understand that. Also, I get a load of complaints every time I leave this forum to go do some other work for a while, but the fact is I can't be here all day every day unless I do nothing else
