Direct

The ability to post volunteering opportunities,, similar to community events, has been added on ModTools. This is on https://dev.modtools.org and https://dev.ilovefreegle.org . These are not yet emailed out to members, this will be done later (with a per-member setting as per community events). It would be useful if people could experiment with these a bit. The icon for these is a flower. That's a little bit random, but the only other one which seemed suitable was a heart, which is too close to our logo. You can have a look at the available icons at http://glyphicons.com/ , in case someone spots one which would work better.

Mobiles & Tablets

I have a Moderator who is constantly being asked to verify her email address when she uses her phone. It is a Galaxy s8 she is using. Any ideas please ? If the mobile has a default email address set up which is different to the one she uses on Modtools it could happen. Also if she has just been on the same website using a different device this happens to me when I log in with a Yahoo ID. she make sure it’s updated which may fix the problem or uninstall and reinstall. Also is she logging out after each session?
