New Features and Enhancements 🚀

• Improved EL Activity Discoverability
  • Description: Users can search for EL activities based on causes, SDGs, and keyword search on the public page.
  • How to Use: When searching for EL activities under the group page, activities with causes or SDGs can be used as a search marker.

Improvements and Bug Fixes 🧰

• Recycled Email Addresses: The platform can not recognize when emails are being reused and correctly sync the new user's information to the recycled email address.
• Reset Password Word Count Increased: Users can now create passwords up to 200 characters in length. With great power comes great responsibility. Use with discretion!! Click here for more information about how to reset a password. 
• Reservation Spots Unrestricted: Events with more than 25 spots available now show the full number of spots available. They no longer cap at 25.
• EL Outcome Statuses Corrected: Outcome statuses are now consistent across new view and classic view.
• Mobile App Bugs: Engage events were being created/synced incorrectly with no group ID included. RSVPs were being created correctly but attendees were not. This was causing mobile app bugs.
• Waitlist Notification: Once an event ends, post event notifications are sent to registrants. Moving forward, email correspondence will not be sent to users with the registration status "Waitlist".
