Woops! The new feature listed
on June 24 was not implemented correctly. Basically only Admins of
the site got to see the cool new feature. Everyone else probably got
some weird results. I've fixed it so now everyone should be able to
view the price history. |

I've noticed Amazon alters the
price of their items quite frequently so I added a new feature that
lets you track these changes. The format of the price of an item will
look like if Amazon has
changed its price since it was added to the list. You can click on
the price and a window will open displaying the historical prices
Amazon has charged for that item. |

You will see the following at
the top of your list | Click the
link to the left to add a comment to the top of your list for others
to see | You might use this to make a
general comment about the items on your list such as, "The items
listed on this page are only suggestions, I would be happy with any
present I receive". Once added, you will be able to edit and/or
delete the comment. |

Now
when you add a new item to a category you will see a button called
Perform Amazon Lookup next to the input box for Link
1. If you want to add an item from amazon, all you have to do is
copy and paste the amazon url for the item into Link 1 URL and
then click Perform Amazon Lookup. The WishList Site will then
automatically fill in the Title, Description, and
Price for you. Even easier, if you placed the Add to
Wishlist Button link to your bookmarks then you can simply click
on that while you are visiting the item you want at amazon and the
WishList Site will fill everything in for you. |

There is now a button labeled "Send Update Notification" located in
the left hand menu of the "Modify WishList" portion of the site.
Clicking on the button will open a new window where you can compose
and send an email to every person who can view your list. The emails
that are sent will appear to have originated directly from your email
address. |
November 7, 2004 |
Added
a new category call "Items Under Consideration". Items you place in
this category will not be visible to the people who can view your list
so you can use it to store items you are considering for inclusion. If
you decide you do want an item in this category to be visible to
everyone else, simply move it to another category (i.e. click [edit] for the item you want to move and then select
the desired category in the drop down box) |

- You will no longer see [Undo] next to an item when you check it off a list. The algorithm I was using did not work in certain situations and had to be changed. I may reintroduce this feature in the future.
Note: you can still view (and delete) your purchases by clicking on a list's purchase log.
- Your name will now appear on the homepage along with the other people's lists you can view.
If you click on your name you will be asked to confirm that you really want to view your own list.
This feature could be helpful if you want to know who bought what on your list. If you don't want to see you name on the homepage, goto Manage List Access and remove your name.
Note: you will not be able to see comments people have left on your list.
