Well, after some setbacks due to resources we were able to bring out some features that we’ve had on the drawing board for awhile. Here’s a brief rundown for you:
Redesigned Homepage. The upper portion of the homepage now lists the 3 most recent members, the 2 or 3 most recent resources (depending on length of title) and a testimonial area.
Redesigned Members Directory Redesigned with improved search functionality and a “New Users” sidebar. The search boxes function separately but now you have more options to streamline your search!
Recent Activities. Previously the system tracked all of your activity and displayed it in the Recent Activities box on your user account page. We have reduced the activities that others can see and given you control over the remaining ones. Select the activities visible to others in your account settings
Subscriptions (also called Auto-Notify). A new item called “my subscriptions” has been added to your navigation box. In the ‘my subscriptions” page, you can select from a list of keywords. Anytime a resource has been added or changed that fits your selected keywords, you will receive an email. In addition, the frequency of these emails can be selected in your account settings.
Recommendations. We have added a feature to the Best Practices and Resource section to give you the ability to tag a resource as “recommended”. When browsing a resource, you will find “recommend this” as an option alongside the “rate this resource” option. When you “recommend” a resource it will then show up on your profile so that others may know the resources you like and recommend. Should it be necessary, you can “unrecommend” as well and the resource will be taken off the list.
We hope you find these features useful as you connect with other leaders and look for new ideas and resources to guide men to Christ.
