New Website Progress Report
March 2nd - Things are getting closer, but phase 2 is not there yet. We recently met with Web Candy to review what they've done, and there is still some work for them to do. Once this has been completed, we'll be able to move into final testing.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: I use Internet Explorer 6, and the website doesn't show properly. Why? A: Internet Explorer 6 is an outdated web browser. Our website employs the latest web standards that IE6 does not support. To get IE6 to work, our website developers would have to add code specifically for IE6. Given the limited resources of the club that is dedicated to the website, these resources are best employed to deliver more functionality for our members, rather than support a browser that is out-of-date. Microsoft is now actively encouraging IE6 users to upgrade to either IE7 ro IE8. If you are an IE6 user, please visit the Microsoft website to get the latest browser, or please use a different browser.
- Q: I joined the club by mailing in my membership form to the club office. When will I be getting my password for the website? A: With any new system, it is taken the club some time to issue a password to members who mail in their membership application. We hope to significantly improve this in the near future. However, until event registration is made available (early 2010), CSC members do not need to login into the website in order to sign-up for events. Each event lists the contact information of the coordinator; please contact the coordinator to register, and they will be checking that you are indeed a member of the club.
- Q: How do I post photos to the website, and what size of photos do I need to provide? A: As of now, photos need to be manually processed to be posted to the website. If you have any photos that you want to post, just email them to

. You do not need to worry about the dimensions of your photos. If you're photos are very large and you have many of them, you may need to mail them in groups. However, when you submit them, please adjust your photos so they are oriented correctly; the administrator will resize photos only.
How to Post an Event
Event posting is still a manual process, however, once event registration is launched in 2010, CSC event coordinators will be empowered to do this themselves. Until then, the CSC's IT staff are the only people able to post events to our calendar. To expedite this process, please follow these instructions.
- Determine the type of event you would like to coordinate: Day Trip or Social. Download and fill out the appropriate template
- Send the your event to the appropriate CSC Director for review.
