Last week we released a minor site update we have been brewing up for a while. It includes the following
-
The display name (screen name) and username fields have been merged. This means that you will now be able to modify your display name, and should remove some confusion in the signup process. The server settings have also been changed so that the display name is displayed instead of the username.
-
The old poll has been closed, and a new one started. The results of the closed poll are displayed in a separate section on the right hand side of the home page. The closure of the poll means we officially are called the Finance Forum!
-
The hero graphic for authenticated users has been updated to a nice shiny new graphic.
-
A flash demo has been added to the site, this shows you the features of the site and walks you through what can do in the community. This is linked to from three places:
a. The hero graphic for authenticated users
b. The welcome section on the top right hand side of the home page.
c. The “How do I join?” section of the Join Now page.
-
The layout of the forums home page has been changed to give prominence to the forums (the Shortcuts, My Discussions, Active, and Unanswered sections have been pushed to the bottom of the page).
-
The layout of the home page has been slightly changed with the Popular Tags section being moved above the Active and Unanswered sections, and with the addition of the previous poll results section.
-
We added some back end goo to enable us to do reporting on the demographics of the members so we can figure out better content etc for you
We hope you like these changes as much as we do.... more to come in July...
