Forum Status Updates

Latest Site Update
February 22, 2010

Recent Fixes
1. “Save” button now reads “Post” everywhere, not just original posts.

2. The link in private messages and comment notification is now completely functional.

3. A WYSIWYG editor has been added so you can format your text without HTML; spell check will be added to the editor momentarily.

In Progress
(Note: Some In Progress fixes and upgrades could be complete as early as next week).

1. Design and Layout: The orange will be replaced by an easier-to-read color. You’ll see boxes around replies and comments, and you’ll be able to adjust the font size. We’re removing the right-hand column; this will allow the page to expand as your window expands (no more overlapping buttons).

2. Customization: You will be able to configure your view of discussions the way you want: new vs. old first, threaded or flat. You decide.

3. Recent Discussions: We’ll add some new functionality to the Recent Discussions block. You’ll be able to shrink or expand it, as wells as navigate to posts within that folder.

4. Breadcrumbs: Breadcrumbs will display at top and bottom of page, so you’ll always know where you are.

5. Replies: Much like Mzinga’s old numbers, each reply will display a link: “In reply to X,”. This makes it especially easy to navigate in a flat view. We’re also adding a “Subject” field to replies, which gives every reply a headline. It’ll be filled in automatically if you don’t enter a subject.

6. Edit: We’re still working on a fix that will allow you to edit a comment or reply once someone has replied to you.

Thanks to everyone who keeps checking back to see what's new.
