A few Website tips

I know that most of us use the website as part of the normal GC ops. Here are some "hidden" features that you may or may not have been aware of:

Those tails at the top of the page are clickable and will take you straight to the operations page for the respective division.
On the roster (http://www.globecargova.org/Pilots/roster.php), you can click on the hours to view all your PIREPS. We keep maps and detailed info about a flight for about 6 months after it is filed.
You can view a pilot's info by clicking on their name on the roster page.
You can change a lot of the information on that page by editing your profile. http://www.globecargova.org/Pilots/editprofile.php This page can also be used to change your password.
All passwords are kept encrypted in the database. The staff cannot see your password, all we can do is to have the system send you a new one.
Make sure to check the "Remember me." box on the home page. That will set a cookie in your browser and you will not need to login again unless your password changes.
Those stats on the left of the home page get generated every night. Don't panic if the numbers don't increase right away after you have submitted your PIREP!

As always, we welcome suggestions on how to make the website more user friendly!
