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.
Proposing Edits to Events
- 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.
Signing In & Security
- 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.
Advertising
- An Advertising Rates page is now available, listing all available banner formats, sizes, and monthly pricing for reaching tango dancers across the US.
Homepage
- 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.
Behind the Scenes
- 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.
