We occasionally face major growing pains that show us where we can improve our processes, make our programs better and easier to use, and add new features. This page will serve as a place to note planned improvements & changes, and estimated times they will be started and/or completed.
As you can see, there are a lot of moving parts behind the scenes, and we try to be as efficient as possible. We appreciated your continued patience with us as we work hard to offer the best programs we can!
