MARCH 2007
Following some feedback, we have made a change
in terminology in order to reduce confusion. Properties on
Vacant Moments were listed as either a 'Basic' listing or
'Full' listing. These terms have been changed to 'Standard'
listing and 'Advanced' listing respectively.
'Advanced' listings show current availability which is automatically
updated whenever a property owner confirms or cancels a booking
request. 'Standard' listings may show availability but it
is up to the property owner to manually alter this.

After 13 months of hard work Vacant Moments
has finally gone live. We would like to thank everyone who
has been so
patient waiting for this launch and for your support and enthusiasm.
The work is a long way from being over we have
so many ideas to add to the site and we will be working constantly
to build this web site into the best online accommodation
booking service available.
We welcome all feedback and please let us know
if you find any bugs (not the crawling type). We have been
carrying out extensive testing but even so a bug does occasionally
escape.
