Welcome to the CollectValue news roundup, announcing the latest features on your collectors social network.

SHARE AND ENJOY
Create bigger, better collections with a little help from your friends. You can now share and collaborate with fellow-collectors to create even better expos. Here's how:
- in MY EXHIBITIONS, click on SHARE EXPO
- select any name from your friends list, to send them a personal invitation
- as soon as they accept, you can work together to help build up your collection
- they'll get an automatic name-check and your collection will appear on their pages too.

MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS
Your personal settings on MY HOME PAGE are even smarter. They will remember if you told them to minimize or maximize when you return, and everything will be just as you left it, including all your personal color-settings. You get thumbnail images of who's doing what in your GAZETTE so you can recognise them fast, and every time you Bookmark an expo, it gets listed in your FAVORITES box along with a thumbnail image for easy recognition.

PUBLISH YOUR EVENTS
Here's how to publish your own event to any group of collectors you choose.
- first you need to ADD EVENT and fill in all the details in the ready-made boxes and menus
- click on ADD, and your new event will appear in your Event Calendar
- click on the ACTION menu and select PUBLISH
- now select the most relevant category for your event. You can add extra categories to advertise in, if you want.
Your Event will appear in the calendar of every member who has checked off the categories you are targetting.
To publish your event costs 50 credits per selected category (1 credit = 1 Euro), so check your CollectValue credit balance in your Profile box before you publish.

THE NAME GAME
There's a quick way to view your friend's latest expos. Go to your GAZETTE, click on your friend's name, and you'll be taken straight to their page.

SIZE MATTERS? NOT ANY MORE!
Forget all about optimum sizing for your expo images. You can now use any size jpg image, and it is automatically resized before uploading. The regular upload tool also resizes after uploading, and that means very large images can take a while to get processed. If you have any problem with the optimum solution then just use the alternative. And remember, Safari/Firefox users need to double-click for file searches, when browsing images to upload.

HELP US HELPING YOU
You'll find new roll-over help balloons throughout the site, and we're adding more all the time. Just hold your cursor over headings and interactive areas for the help balloons to appear automatically. You can help us too, so send us your suggestions for improvement, let us know when you experience any kind of bug via info@collectvalue.com and we'll keep working hard to bring you an even better CollectValue experience.

All best wishes, and continued thanks for your support!
The CollectValue team
