Mass Add Feature added to Pro Group Web Services

Posted at January 7, 2005 11:23 AM in BitWise .

Pro Groups now have another great business-oriented feature available to them for managing contacts and contact lists. A common issue that arises when setting up a Pro Group is that most users should have most other group members on their contact list. What a manual entry nightmare!

Now after creating your Pro Group's users, adding everyone to everyone's list is a snap! With the "Mass Add" feature, a Group can easily add contacts in bulk. I'll let the screenshot speak for itself:

Just for fun: there is a discrepancy between the thumbnail and the larger shot. Can you find it? This way the Free BitWise users can enjoy this post too. :)

There's an extra tab on the thumbnail... the one between "Owner Menu" and "Tech Support"

Too bad I can't make out what it says. -=\ ...God something... o_o

There is an extra menu, but I'm not confirming or denying what it says. :)

Gotta be something-Menu. It's pixel-for-pixel the same as the word "Menu" as it shows up in the tab "Admin Menu"(which is also a dark-colored tab, with the same font.

OK, I'll get a closer look after I get gimp all emerge'd...At least I'm very sure it's something Menu, very probably God(and, yes, a captial G - look at the word "George" down below).

OK, had another look. I have determined that the text below the row of tabs is a larger size, and, as such, is not really avaliable as text we can use to compare with. Does anybody know which font/size this might be? I believe that might help us figure out if it's really "God", or not.

the d in "Admin", as far as I can tell, differs from the supposed d in the supposed word "God". note the stair-step like bright white in the d in Admin, which is not present in the d in "God". Anyway, I'm not sure what else it could be. Looking back+forth between the o in "Who's", and the o in "God", I think I can safely say there is an o there.

Well, all this fancy-ness leads me...nowhere. Any other comments? For one, it does seem as if a "God Menu" would be a likely label for a menu, a place to adjust global settings, and such. But then, there is the issue that there is already an "Admin Menu". Maybe some slightly brighter person can shed some more light on this(ok, bad pun)...

The extra menu is our master administration menu, and when I first took the screenshot I didn't realize I was logged in that way. Then I realized I could make the post fun for everyone, and the rest, they say, is history.

So what's it say? It is our "God Menu." I guess it proves we have a sense of humor or something--no sacrilige, anti-theism or anything else is implied or intended by it. We have to have our fun somehow too! :)
