The new app resolves an issue that was making it difficult for some users to login to the app. The issue was that Android was auto-correcting what you typed as a password (thinking it was just regular text). The updated app no longer auto-corrects (changes what you type) on the password field. We also made a few additional bug fixes in the app. ...

We will begin the process late Friday evening when not many are relying on the site to minimize the downtime. Once the transition is complete, the new server will provide increased performance and a more reliable service for you. NOTE: The move will also benefit ...
