Community Updates

[WarMouse -Manager-]

From Ning-

• Members can post a Status from the Main Page. If you uncheck "Status updates" in the Latest Activity controls, this box will disappear.
• Activity Items have a new, cleaner UI that makes it easier for members to interact with content in the feed.
• Videos are playable inline, and photo thumbnails are larger.
• When you click "Continue" on a blog post, the post expands inline.

From the staff of TWTW,

 

The Hall of Steel and Armor Division departments are now considered complete and functioning much more smoothly than previously. Please follow us on Twttier @castellife @armordivision @hallofsteel ! Look us up on Facebook- Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries :)

 

I'd like to highlight the "Traveling Chronicles" tab in your navbar next to the "Tell Your Friends" tab. This is where we will be highlighting events, members, and discussions to keep your personal inbox a little lighter.  :)

 

Notice anything different? Please tell us if the site hasn't gotten any easier to navigate. Are you having trouble reading the text on any of the pages? Feel free to mention it here or to any of the staff so it can be taken care of! 

 

More updates from Ning to the way our groups function-

"First, groups creators and administrators will be able to add static pages to a group. Added pages will be featured prominently on the group's home page, which will make it easier to share knowledge or information with group members (or potential members).

Second, group creators and administrators will soon be able to change the privacy settings of an existing group. Today, privacy settings are locked and unchangeable when a group is created. You'll soon be able to change this at will. We've also redesigned the privacy settings to be a lot easier to use and understand.

Lastly, we're enhancing or fixing a slew of issues and flows within the Groups feature, including:

• Adding "Alphabetical" as a way to sort groups on the list of groups on a Ning Network
• Limiting group deletion priviledges only to group moderators, network admins and Network Creators
• New members of groups will no longer, by default, get notified when other people join their group
• Better warning message for members viewing invite-only groups
• Better warning message for members who've been suspended from a group"

What does this mean to us?

-Artist and Performer fan groups can now feature a calendar of events instead of storing it in a discussion, which can easily get lost in the shuffle. 

-Less inbox spam from groups you join!

 

I sincerely hope you are enjoying your Traveling Within The World experience. 

Travel well,
