Assign Tasks/Milestones to Multiple People

After a lot of hard work, we are proud to announce that you can now assign milestones and tasks to multiple people. This was a very difficult feature to add since the feature impacted almost every area of TeamWork Live, but we think you will like the result. You can now assign multiple people to a task or milestone by clicking on the add icon next to the "Assign to" option. Select the users that you want to assign the task or milestone to and save. Each user will need to complete the task for it to be considered completed.

We have made a number of other minor changes too. They are listed below for your reference.

Milestones
Unassigned milestones with due dates now appear in everyone's upcoming milestones list in the dashboard. This is so everyone can stay informed about upcoming milestones. Milestones assign to specific users will still only show up in the assigned user's upcoming milestones list.

Tasks
The milestones in the "group by milestone" view of the tasks section are now sorted by due date. You can sort milestones without due date using the reorder arrows.

Add/Edit Options
2. The "Working draft?" option on the edit page has been replaced with a "Finish Later" button. This is to make the save draft feature consistent with the "send message" and "add comment" features.
3. You can now upload a file by clicking the "retrieve file from web" link and entering the URL of the document or image. This saves you time from having to download the item before uploading it to TeamWork Live.

Miscellaneous
1. If you have an invitation to a new project team, it will automatically be shown to you when you first sign on.
2. We have converted most images used in TeamWork Live to use what are known as "CSS sprites". It basically involves combining the icons used throughout the site into larger files to reduce download time. This should result in faster load time for TeamWork Live, especially for users not located in the United States.

It's nice to see that you are constantly evolving TeamWork Live around the needs of the real world while keeping it highly usable.

More reason to keep loving this program!  I've used and tested several other program for project management, and nothing comes close to TWL.

Keep up the great work!
