It's been a while since we blogged about anything new at Upcoming. But it's not for lack of stuff to talk about, we've just been a little busy tuning up our robots. We're always happy to hear from you, so this week I'm going to focus on some features we've recently added in response to the suggestions we get everyday on our Suggestion Board.
