News Forum Changes:
1. There is no longer any length limitation to News Postings. You may copy/paste as much of the news article as necessary. Thereafter, you may also add your own comments underneath that news article. While citing news items, this is better than a blog posting, since the news article link and related news article links can be seen in context.
2. News Alerts have now been added. Whenever a new News article is posted, an alert will appear at the top right-hand corner. The newest articles will be highlighted for...
more... easy perusal.
3. News Post Replies will now bubble that news item to the top (like in the Blog Forum). The same will also be highlighted.
Pvt Post changes:
1. New pvt posts will be highlighted for easy perusal.
2. New pvt posts will not cause the whole page to be refreshed - just like public posts, only the new items will be downloaded.
Coming soon:
Ability to add multiple pictures and videolinks to news articles and replies.
Seeing the above and upcoming changes, all members are encouraged to post News articles within the News forum. Hereafter, sufficient exposure to news items is assured. More changes will be implemented, if this is not sufficient.
Thanks.
