When you ask them to, email providers who receive your mailshots send you email information about email security: a DMARC report. You can now direct such DMARC reports to Cameo.

Membership types now support various discounts and surcharges (for example, a lower cost when paying by direct debit).
As well as reflecting these pricing adjustments, the join form now offers some optional boxes which have the effect of filtering membership type to choose. Where there are lots of membership type combinations, this reduces and simplifies the number of choices up-front.
You can also restrict the payment methods by membership type. For example, it may only be appropriate to pay monthly subscriptions by automated methods like Direct Debit.
The renew form also deals with these new membership type variations. Read More…

* Individual’s social media handles (+@ to add one in a membership record) now show X rather than Twitter, and the list of default services available for these also lists X instead of Twitter. Read More…
