| Subject: New Toolbar Feature Sun Feb 10, 2013 12:12 am | |
| Forumotion surprised us with a cool new feature which is the toolbar you can see at the top of your window
It has following features:
Quick Search option -> You just type in what you want and hit enter!
Social media sharing buttons -> You can share what you want from Academy X with a single click now. Why would you need that? If you want more people attracted to your post, then you know how facebook and twitter can help you get people to see it at least! No more complaints from Teachers that their articles are not being read that much if they share em through this option
Welcome menu -> With a click on it, you can see useful links:
View my profile: which redirects to the public profile of the user Edit my profile: which redirects to the preference tab of the user profile edition All my topics which redirects to all the topics the user has posted in All my messages: which redirects to all the user's messages My watched topics: which redirects to all the watched topics of the user Administration Panel: which redirects to the Admin Panel, only if the user has the Admin rights (the option isn't displayed if the user hasn't got the administration rights) Log out: which redirects to the log out page.
Notifications -> It informs you almost instantaneously of the receiving of a friend request, a private message, a profile message, a message in a watched topic, a request to join a group, an abuse reported on the forum, and even when your friends log into the forum!
friend requests private messages profile messages messages in a watched topic requests to join a group abuses sent on the forum new reports when your friends log in to the forum
To edit the preferences for the wall messages (visitor messages), you go to edit your profile (you have it in the navigation bar as "Profile" or "Edit my profile" in Welcome menu on this new toolbar. Then you go to "Preferences Tab" and look at the 3rd line:
All in all, it is a great feature and now managing your friends has also a new meaning
There is nothing more to say other than if you don't like the new toolbar, you can hide it with the arrow on the right top corner of your window.
YAY for the new features! | |
