Users may now elect to receive task notifications via text message instead of, or in addition to, email.
Configure this new feature on the account settings page.

Task notification emails will now come from this email address: notify@onlinetasklist.com. Users may need to update their mail filters accordingly. For help, or to provide feedback, write to this new address: support@onlinetasklist.com.May-17 Better printing
Printed pages are now generated directly from the on screen display. This means users can control which columns are printed. Printed task lists should now be more consistent with each user's preferences.Also in this version, preferred sort column and sort order (ascending or descending) are saved between logins.
May-13 Introducing task filters
In version 5.7.0 the capability to filter tasks by due date or by assigned user has been added. All users will see the due date filter immediately above the category menu.Users who belong to a project with multiple members will also see the assigned user filter. These filters can be used individually or together.
The filters turn a distinctive color when they are in use, providing a reminder that the filtered view shows only a subset of all tasks. To turn off filters just click the reset link.
As always any feedback is appreciated.

Apr-25 New in version 5.6.0
New in this version:- Teams are now called Projects. This better reflects how they are most often used. Projects work exactly like teams.
- For users that belong to more than one project there is now a quick project select widget in the main view directly above the category menu.
- All menus are now left aligned. The result is that the category menu, main menu, new project select widget, and the back button are grouped closely together, resulting in less overall mouse travel.
- External links to a task (from an email or elsewhere) will now work even if the linked task is not in the user’s current project.
Apr-16 Migration complete
To handle increasing traffic and to provide more reliable access the site has been moved to a new hosting provider. Access should now be faster than ever, and users can expect 99.9% uptime in the future.Apr-15 Opera browser support
Problems reported by users of the Opera browser have been fixed. The site should now work well with Firefox, IE, Opera, Safari, and other web browsers.Mar-26 New features
The following features have been added recently. Long time users may not have noticed all of them.- Custom color schemes for tasks. The setting can be found in the “Display” section of the account settings page.
- There is now a priority edit page that allows customization of task priorities--including the display style for tasks of each priority.
- Category edit page allows custom category order (previously categories were always ordered alphabetically).
- Search page now has a quick search dialog to quickly search for a given task number.
- Team members now receive a notification email when a task is assigned to them (enable or disable this via the account settings page).
Many useful improvements are in the works for the next version. There are currently about thirty tasks on the Online Task List “task list”. Users have asked for sub-tasks, recurring tasks, and additional task fields--all of these are being considered for the next update.
