What’s New on TangoMango

A running summary of improvements to the site, written for organisers, community members, and admins. Newest changes appear first.

Your Profile & Events

Your profile page now lists every event you have submitted, with clear status labels showing whether each one is live, pending approval, highlighted, or denied.
You can delete or cancel your own event listings directly from your profile, without needing to contact an admin.
You can now update your preferred region (country, state, and area) from your profile page.
The “Pending approval” label now includes a short explanation of what to expect and roughly how long review takes.
The event edit page shows the current status of any highlight request you have submitted, so you always know where things stand.

Any signed-in user can now suggest edits to an event listing, even if they are not the organiser. The organiser receives an email and can approve or reject the change with a single click.
Organisers can see all pending edit proposals on their event page and can cancel any of them.
When an organiser approves or rejects an edit — whether from within the site or by clicking the link in the notification email — the person who proposed the change automatically receives a notification.
Both the organiser’s approval-request email and the proposer’s outcome email now include a clear before-and-after summary of exactly what changed.
Proposers can withdraw their own pending edit request if they change their mind. The organiser is notified when this happens.
Stale edit proposals that have not been acted on within the allowed time window are cleaned up automatically each day.

You can now sign in using a magic link sent to your email — no password required. Just click the link and you’re in.
The magic-link sign-in flow now works reliably even when email apps automatically visit links before you click them.
Adding, editing, or deleting an event now always requires a fresh sign-in verification, protecting your listings from unauthorised changes.
Several security improvements were made to ensure user-entered text is always displayed safely and cannot be used to inject unwanted content into the site.
Extra protections were added to forms across the site to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks.

An Advertising Rates page is now available, listing all available banner formats, sizes, and monthly pricing for reaching tango dancers across the US.

A fresh, light-themed homepage design was introduced alongside the original dark design. You can switch between them using a link or a URL parameter.

A daily maintenance job now automatically removes old or expired sign-in tokens and cleans up stale edit proposals, keeping the database lean over time.
The maintenance job now recovers reliably from server restarts and unexpected interruptions, with its progress stored in a persistent location.
