What are you thinking?

We've unleashed another exciting update to the Community Section of Finextra. Call me Ebeneezer, if you will, but just because Christmas is around the corner, I don't think it's time yet to allow the Finextra web team to slacken off. When you go to your private Member Profile section (click on your name in the Community tab), you will now see a n...

Finextra News story pages get a spruce up

The Web Development Team has been busy yet again. We've created a new look and feel for the individual news story pages. Some elements on the page have been moved around. Other elements have been added. I’ve highlighted some of the changes, (though there are others!): 1. We now have an at-a-glance view of the number of people that have viewed each...

Finextra community members private profile spruce up

We've been busy little bees here at Finextra Towers. The latest update to the Finextra site is a revamp of the private profile page that Community Members see when they log on. In some regards it's similar to the public profile page that we see when we search the finextra community but with added functionality. Existing members can view the chan...

Follow us

We've added a new section and a quick link on the right hand side of the home page called, "Follow us". This enables you to link through to our Twitter account and also to sign up for our daily newsletter as well as to link to our RSS feeds. A small change but hopefully a useful one.

More subtle changes to Finextra.com

We've made another subtle change at Finextra. The Careers pages are now more streamlined. Previously we had a page for searching jobs and a page for displaying a list of jobs. Having two pages that do pretty much the same task is never a good idea as it's a duplication of work. We've redesigned the careers system to negate the need for a second j...

This green and pleasant land gets a little bit greener

We can all breathe a little easier now. As part of our server upgrade last month for each new server, the International Tree Foundation has planted a tree for us in Chesham. A couple of years ago I sponsored a goat in some far flung place & I received photos of the goat & the family that owned it. Should the ITF do something similar with...
