Over the last week or so, you may have noticed a number of smallish changes and new additions to your Switchboard. Most of these are small so you mau not have noticed. However, a few are worth mentioning:
- Faster page loading
The number of templates that the back end has to parse has been reduced considerably, so you should see a marked improvement in the general loading of most pages.
- Related Discussions
At the end of each blog or forum post you will now find a short list of discussions that directly relate to the discussion you are currently viewing. This is a great way of enticing your users to raed other discussions.
- More Admin options and Space Aliases
A small number of new editable options have been added to the Admin Settings screen. The most important of which is the ability to change your Space Subdomain and also set a Space Alias. A Space alias is mentioned here. It basically allows you to use your domain instead of your Tooum subdomain.
- Inline Filters
When viewing lists of discussions, whether it be blog, forum or both, you will now see a number of filtering options at the top of the page. You can filter by blog, forum and bookmarked discussions and can even use the Content Slider to chose how much of each post you actually want to view. Moving the slider will instantly change how much of the posts body of text is shown. So you can see quickly what the discussion is all about.
More are still to come. The next big feature to be implemented will be External Discussions. We are working on it right now and hope to have something for you by the end of the week.
