		<description><![CDATA[ Hi,<br />I would love to be able to see what country a member is from when they post in the forums. I see there is space for their name and date they joined. Is it possible to also place in UK, US, AU for example. Many of the posts are only applicable to certain countries I think i.e. being paid to house sit.<br />Any chance of placing our countries there?<br />Robyn ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ It's SO annoying not to have an easily locatable tab or button for sending a message to the site moderator.<br /><br />i bought a membership, and now have questions about finding my profile - when I scan (carefully) through the lists of sitters available in my three major locations, I don't find myself at all.  <br /><br />I want to ask Ian about this, and it's irksome not to be able to just DO IT. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I am looking for sits mostly in North America and Europe. Currently OZ and NZ are not on my list. Since the site has many OZ and NZ listings, I would suggest that an advanced search the permits ALL, except OZ and NZ would be beneficial. <br /><br />Similarly for those in OZ or NZ, an advanced search may be OZ & NZ but no others. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Going to escape the winter months, heading for warmer climes? I am looking for a quiet place with internet access to work on my research to write biz plans and am happy to house/flat, pet and plant sit for you, medium or long term. I'm interested in Central London areas. A loving, caring, reliable house-proud refined professional (career in transition), I love keeping homes immaculately clean. Please visit my profile "CleanReliableSitter" and my photos speak for me. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Many people would like to get responses from homeowners but often the homeowner doesn't reply.<br /><br />Not having used the homeowner side, I don't know how it works, but if I had 20 or more responses, I would think it hard (and a pain in the neck) to reply to that many. <br /><br />Why not provide homeowners with functionality that collects all respondents into a single address book which they can then pen up a letter and send a "reply to all".. That should make it very easy, and may increase the number of homeowners replying... it would likely be a form response to those not picked, but better than nothing.  Does this exist yet?<br /><br />Kevin <br /><a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.kevinandaliciashea.com/">http://www.kevinandaliciashea.com/</a> ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Is it morally acceptable to apply for more than one appointment over the same period?<br />My wife and I are going overseas soon and we have been picking the appoinments that may suit us, applying, and if declined moving on to the next one.<br />It occur's to me to apply for all that may suit us and decline any after we have an appointment.<br />What do you think? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I have been successful in locating a housesitting gig, but only because I listed a bunch of cities in multiple states.  But I am limited by 255 characters in listing cities, so I cannot list every city in the 10 states that I am considering for my next one.<br /><br />The individuals whom I am now sitting for (for 6 months) stated that they thought that they could only find sitters by listing nearby cities.<br /><br />How can the site be improved so that individuals who are willing to travel to numerous states can be actively considered for gigs in all of the states?<br /><br />Are other people effected by this limitation?<br /><br />Owen ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ We just changed the system so that sent messages older then 30 days go into the<br />sent2 basket.  Also waste (deleted) messages older then 30 days go into the waste2 basket.<br /><br />So you just have current messages in waste and sent.  You can recover from both<br />waste baskets. <br /><br />Most members like to keep a record so we think this should suit most users. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ A facility to allow sitters to upload references is planned for release. For privacy reasons this will only be able to be viewed by logged on homeowners.<br /><br />If you have any suggestios on this - they are welcome. We have decided to allow upload of files of the following formats .doc  .txt  .pdf  .jpg  . gif (in case something is scanned)<br /><br />It will be along the lines of the current photo gallery - except it will be a reference library ]]></description>
