I just want to send out a quick thank you to everyone that is a part of the SustainaBundy discussion list, we appreciate your subscription and your participation. An email came through last night from Heinz Unger (username Olivenunger) that list members might have mistaken for spam at first glance, so I wanted to clear things up before anyone runs to unsubscribe!

Using the SustainaBundy website can be fairly complicated if you aren't familiar with it, and occasionally bugs do pop up - this is what we saw with Mr Unger's post. When posting a new directory listing, the first field to be filled out is "Title". This has caught us out before, when people have taken that to mean their own title (ie, Mr, Mrs, Miss, etc) as opposed to the title of their content. This is why the subject line of Mr Unger's email was "Mr." I have updated the title on the directory listing to "Bundaberg Region Olive Oil" and will make sure that the description for the "Title" field is more descriptive from now on! Also, the first several lines of the email were the word "Location" over and over again. This is a bug in the software, which the tech team is aware of - hopefully they'll be able to rectify it very soon.

Mr Unger, welcome to the SustainaBundy website and thank you for letting our subscribers know about your local product!
