August 2009 Update
We've just rolled out a new update for SendMyAd. Among the new features and improvements:
1. Added a new right so that it is now possible to manage publications but not be able to edit or add issues. You may need to adjust your administrative groups to add the new rights "Can manage issues" and "Can manage domain level issues." Note that for a group to manage issues they must also have the right to manage publications.
2. New publisher preference in General Settings that lets you turn off public registration for advertisers. If you use this feature, advertisers must be invited - there won't be any links to register on your landing page.
3. If you have enabled the notification for when new ads are uploaded, you will now also receive an email when an advertiser submits a file for a revision.
4. Improved history messages for ad pickups: the source ad will reference the new ad, and the new ad references the old one.
5. Advertisers should be redirected to the proper URL if they enter an incorrect address in their browser or if they come to the generic SMA landing page.
6. Advanced Search is now available for Publications, Users, and Customers in addition to Ads.
7. Many other small improvements and fixes.
If you have any questions about this update, please email us.

Disable advertiser sign-ups from your home page
Normally your ad portal's login screen contains a button or link where advertisers can sign up for a new SendMyAd account without having received an invitation first.
If you prefer to remove this feature, it's now possible to do in your publisher preferences. Just go to the General Settings & Information > Site Settings area. The new preference is called Allow advertisers to sign up for an account themselves from your SendMyAd homepage.
