Testing, Testing, and More Testing
Less than two weeks away from the official launch, and I'm making some significant progress in what will be the new, secure member's area. This area of Media-Geek.com will not be available to the general public, as its purpose is to provide a secure place for forensic media related professionals to share information. Membership will be open to current or retired law enforcement forensic media related professionals and prosecutors.
The new members area will provide a number of "social networking" tools, such as secure community forums, file sharing, messaging tools, a community calendar, and more. Members will be able to submit articles, news, event information, links, and other content to share with the group. There will be a membership directory, and users can choose what information they'd like to provide (if any). Members can create "Connections" or "buddy lists" and use Private Messaging (PM) to communicate with any member throughout the entire site. Want to receive an email or PM when there's a new post to a forum? No problem. Want an email when someone sends you a PM? Can do. Want to keep your email address private, yet allow members to send you an email? We can do that too!
