Posting announcements
Hello everyone,
Some have expressed a concern for being able to post games on the new web-site. It is possible to post an announcement to include a need for games. This is separate from the "Request An Official" feature. When you login to your account, click on your name in the upper right hand corner. You will see "News Items" near the top of the screen. This will allow you to view current announcements. There is also a button to click to "Add New." This is where you can post games so others will be able to view them. You can set an expiration date for the announcement as well, so it does not linger past the date an official is needed. For example, this announcement will expire January 31, 2022.
These announcements are then viewable in News on the home page through the expiration date. At any time, the author can also delete the post if the game has been filled.
I hope you all have a great new year. Keep up the great work.
Derek Sieg
