New features: The all new Stroudgreen.org
We're now up and running with the new system. There are a bunch of new features for you to use:
Private Messages: You can now contact each other directly. There are two ways of doing this. Click "inbox" and then "start a new conversation" and write the names of recipients like an email. Alternatively, Click on someone's name and then choose "send a message" in the sidebar on the left
Notifications: You should get an email notification if you get a private message. In fact, you can get all sorts of email notifications. You can control what notifications you get. Click your name in the top bar, then "My Preferences" in the left hand sidebar.
Mobile Phones: The mobile format is lovely. For those of you with posh phones (yes, even Blackberries) look at http://www.stroudgreen.org
Links: If you remember to write "http://" then if you write a link, it will automatically become clickable.
Profiles: Click your name in the top bar. There's lot of new stuff there. You can add pictures and stuff, like facebook. You can write on each others walls, but I'm not sure why you would.
Mark all viewed: New button in the top. Does what it says on the tin.
Posts: Now automatically saves drafts. "Announce" is the new sticky. If there is a sticky thread you're done with, you can 'dismiss' it.
Bookmarks: Click the star to bookmark your favourite threads. Click it again when you start to hate that thread.
As for other stuff, opening a thread at the "Last unread" still doesn't work, but we're looking at it. The politics page, calendar, the map and the weekly email are lost for now. As is markdown, which so many of you spent so long learning. We'll update as we go with any new features.
