It supports tagging, categories, geo-referencing, timelines and practically every other on-line sorting tool you can think of!

Some of you may have noticed a few improvements to the FIBIS website over the last week. As well as a slightly differently look and a few software upgrades the following changes have been made:

Improved events organiser

  • A widget in the right sidebar now displays events in a less confusing format
  • The events page  not only shows events as a list, but also in a calender with events colour coded by event type.
