My Account area changes
We have releassed a revision to the My Account area intended to gather related information into a single area (for most users) and simplify URL, ring memberships, and ring management.
The more significant changes will be noticed by members whose total of rings manged, URLs and ring memberships is under 30 in number. For these members, all information is presented on a single tab, with ring memberships grouped together with the URLs they are associated with.
In addition, some membershipfunctionality has been moved to the My Account area streamlining these asctivities.
We hope these changes make it easier, especially for newer members, to navigate their accounts more easily.

Community Polls
The "Ring Poll" feature has been enhanced to allow using a common poll across multiple ring communities. We are currently running a single poll for a number of rings. You can view it on our revised hub page layout, for example, here:
Baking on the Web
Managers: To share a ring poll among several rings follow these steps:
- Set up the poll on one ring, and make note of the ring id. Be sure not to check the box on the second line for using another ring's poll!
- Access other rings you wish to share the poll on and in the Ring Poll area check the "I'd like to survey using this ring's poll" box and enter the rnig id you saved.
that's it! Any changes you make on the original poll will reflect on all rings.
If you wish to run the same global poll we're using on most rings, simple enter "webring" as the ring poll to use.

Discuss this Site/Ring
We have quietly added a new feature to the system navbar, and now we're ready to share it with everyone. We've added an easy to use widget allowing users to post comments about the site or the ring, post to the ring's discussion area (forum), even email comments to friends; all this from any site in the ring - without needing to leave the site! See it here:
in the sample navbar at the bottom of the page. Then visit a few sites in the ring to see it in action.

If your ring(s) don't have this feature yet, ask your manager to add it.
Have some thoughts about it? Let the world hear them!

Ring Auctions
It's been live for a couple of weeks now. Managers can put rings they manage up for auction to the highest bidder using the WebRing Auctions service.
Auction details can be found in the Global Settings section of ring management.
Ring transfers are also easier now. Simply notify the individual, using the provided notification field in Global Settings, you wish to transfer the ring to, set an agreed upon "Buy Now" price and put the ring up for auction. The individual will be sent an email and they can immediately acquire the ring.
You can read more in the July newsletter.
Note added 11/17/2011: Due to abuse of the feature a ring can only be placed to auction if the manager has had the ring in their control for at least one month.
