Hello Heart&Stroke Walkabout members!
We have been walking through the tools on www.walkaboutns.ca in order to improve your online experience with Walkabout.
You’ve probably already noticed some changes. The homepage, “My Area” and “Group information” pages have been re-vamped to keep your information front and centre. In addition, here are the main new features we’ve added to the rest of the site:
1) Improved group and route searches:
You can now search for groups and routes by name and location. Groups and routes can also be sorted alphabetically. The “Find a Group” and “Find a Route” maps are now easier to use.
2) Group messaging notification:
When you post a group message, all members in the group will be notified by email. If there’s an important change or update for your group (e.g. a new walk scheduled), members can be notified right away!
3) Group membership requests:
While you can continue to enjoy immediate membership to public walking groups, you can now *request* to join private walking groups. Group leaders receive notification of the request.
4) Privacy settings:
Members can now view the profile pages of fellow group members. View your privacy settings, under “Profile”, to determine what features you want to make public to other Walkabout members (including your progress graph, journal, profile information, etc.)
5) Walkabout notifications:
From time to time you’ll hear from the Walkabout team about new site improvements or upcoming news and events so you can be the first to know about Walkabout happenings in your area.
And coming soon, we will be enhancing the website’s content and walking resources!
We want to keep improving so that you have the best Walkabout we can give you. Let us know about your Walkabout experience. Send your feedback to [email protected]. Thanks, and keep those feet on the streets!
Melinda Norris,
Walkabout Project Manager
