Some users have reported problems with the new website when using a cell
phone. If you use an Android,
1. log into the MOU website on Chrome
2. Click on the three vertical dots in the upper right corner.
3. In the menu that opens. select "Desktop Type".
The website should then be working fine.
The equivalent steps don't work for iPhones. If you use an iPhone, continue
using the old website at https://moumn.org/index_v1.php until we figure out
a fix for Apple devices.
PCs, Macs, tablets, and iPads all reportedly work fine.

Subject: Updated MOU Website
To: Minnesota Birds (mou-net) <MOU-NET...>
Tony Hertzel and I have been working on an update to the MOU website this
year and it was just released.
- From anywhere on the website, click on the banner across the top of
the page, which reads "The Minnesota Ornithologists' Union", to return to
the home page.<br />
- After leaving the home page to visit another page, you'll see a slight
change in the background color of the top menu. All the subpages under a
common main menu use the same color for the top menu. (Quick Links is the
exception, as all of these pages are also found under other menus.)
- Among the seven main menus, Quick Links is a list of those web pages
most frequently visited, or relevant for the season we are in.
- Under MOU, Administration, Contacts > Join or Renew Your Membership,
you'll see that the web pages to renew using PayPal or a personal check
have been combined into a single page.
- The Birding in Minnesota menu now has links to all three social media
accounts: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube.
- Recently Seen and Showcase images have been combined into a single
page (Publications, Checklists, Galleries > Photos and Galleries > Recent
Images). Any MOU member uploading images here can select whether the image
can be shown on the home page. The image that appears on the home page is
randomly selected from the most recent 5 or 6 images uploaded. (Refresh the
home page several times. You'll see different images appearing.)
- Awards, Education and Outreach now splits the MOU Awards from one page
into five. Also, links to Minnesota Bird Clubs are shown.
- The rightmost main menu, My MOU Account, holds all your data and
submissions (images, RQDs, etc.) to the MOU database.
We hope you enjoy your experience with this new website.
