What does Beta mean?
You'll see beta around the site for a while yet, basicly what it means is that we (Our Diggs.co.uk) is stil to iron out all the bugs in our system.
We'll still creating sections and tweaking our features to make them the best they can possibily be.
It also lets you (the user) know that when you see something fishy, you should report it to us through our handy bug reporter.
What's my dashboard?
You're dashboard, well that's the brains of the operations, the place where all your information and your friends information is shown to you.
Activity
Your Activity lists the 12 most recent on goings from your friends, this will show their new friends and new house mates, what their searching for, what houses they like, what houses they want to live in and after a short while, we'll be adding some more. These will include when they rate a house, when they comment on a house / user / landlord / agent and loads more!
History
Your history is pretty straight forward, everything you do is shown here. In the near future we want to expand is into sections, allowing you to explore your full history on Our Diggs.
Appointments
The Appointments system will be arriving shortly.
Read more about your dashboard here.
What are House Mates for?
You're house mates are very important, they're the people you'll be living with and therefore the people you want to rent a house with.
Invite all your friends onto Our Diggs, but when it comes to House Mates, make sure they are the actual people you'll be living with.
Why is stuff coming soon?
Nothing is 100% in life, Our Diggs.co.uk is no different.
Instead of launching new features out of the blue, we want to let you know that these features will be arriving shortly.
So keep an eye out on those Coming Soon pages, soon they could be a brand new feature.
Why do I need Javascript?
Javascript is a very handy tool that we use here on Our Diggs.co.uk
Our home page (the one you login and make an account with) uses a load of Javascript to operate properly, without it you won't be able to use that cool feature; you won't be able to see some other features around the site either.
Trust us, enabling Javascript won't harm your computer - it'll just make your experience on Our Diggs a whole lot better.
How do I turn on Javascript?

My Student email has been used!
Does the system tell you, that your student email address has been used?
There's a few things you can try,
1. Make sure the student email address isn't linked to another account you own (silly yes, but just try it).
2. Send a forgot password link to the email and recover the account. Try that here.
3. Still confused? Try to Contact us.
