Thriva - 9.2 release

Thriva version 9.2 was released on 12/7/09. The Communication Center's layout of the message editor has been updated for ease of use.
A Preview HTML button has been added to the message editor. This allows you to
view the formatting of a message as if it were opened by an HTML Email viewer.
In the main Communication Center area, the Preview button has been renamed to
Preview with Fields to explain that mail merge fields will appear in the preview.
Emails have a 4MB limit on attachments per email. There is now a pop-up notice if
you try to save an email with more than 4MB of attachments. You can skip this
warning under certain circumstances. For instance, if you have dynamic logic in
your email which limits attachments to be less than 4MB, this notice would not
affect you. Have fun!


To meet new PCI standards, The Active Network MUST be displayed on the Billing page to identify Active as the organization responsible for actually processing the payment. Currently, this will NOT display until the form has been published. You will also notice that there is no more “Active Waiver”. Only your organizations waiver will display in the Waiver module. IF the organization does not have any text in the waiver, or the waiver module is deleted, then no waiver is required to sign. Your customers can see our policy and terms of condition next to the “Powered by Active” section. Please take a moment and log into all of your database and re-publish all of your forms. You can do this fairly easily by going to the Form Builder (Settings > Form Builder), loading up one of your forms, and going to Step 5. Publish. Here you will see a “Publish All” button (shown below in Screen Shot above). This will go through all of your Forms, and publish them.


Active Net Users - iPhone


Quick Tip - you can use your iPhone to take pictures in place of a web-cam in ActiveNet. If your iPhone is plugged into the computer (if your charging it for example), ActiveNet will detect it as a viable camera and will let you select from the images you have stored on the phone, including any pictures you decide to take at that moment. Many organizations add a picture to an Account so they can verify identity.

Holiday Fun - this is not me FYI


Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas
decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had
more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two
things made me take it down.

First, the cops advised me that it would
cause traffic accidents as t...hey almost wrecked when they drove by.


Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed
herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she
climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people
who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a
few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.
