Reply To: Forthcoming system upgrades

[Barra]

Ok, we have installed the new homepages ad on it there is a couple of new views, including a group activity view, a recent galleries view and also a Forum posts view for recent forum topics. Currently once you login you are directed to the Sitewide Activity page.

I also installed a couple of neat picture applications. One is about how you look at images, if you click on a lot of images from now on, gallery images for example, the image will jump out of the page and dispay itself without you having to move to that page, this should make browsing the site quicker.

We also now have a slideshow creator for blogs. This is called Soliloquy and it allows you to upload images directly into a slideshow, and then gives you a code, called a shortcode that you can insert into your blog in the location where you want the slideshow to appear.

Another updated feature is that groups will now inform members of new topics by email unless they or the group admin chooses to change that setting.

[important]One final upgrade is a new “Insert Shortcode” button, which only works for blogs, not for forum posts, even though the button appears in both. This allows you to insert boxes, buttons and all manner of things in your blogs and is intended to enable you to add the right bells and whistles to make your blog post impactful![/important]

I am able to do that, because for me a few extra buttons appeared which I do not know where they came from or how to enable then for others lol
