New Site Log and Email Notification Changes
Category: Community News

We have just completed our latest round of updates, at Spruz we work hard to receptive to your feedback and act upon it for the good of everyone.

New Site Activity Log has been added

The next time you are in you management mode click on Your Site, then Site Activity. We have added a new feature that is focused on showing site changes, not to be confused with Member Activity. The new site activity log is designed to show you when admin related functions are used. This was put in place to help sites that have more then one administrator. The log should show when a new page is added, elements deleted, forum topics are approved and so on. We hope this helps make it easier for you to track what Admins are making changes to what. This is a new feature will be improved on over time thanks to your future feedback, but keep in mind this feature is not designed to track member related actions.

Email Notifications Changes

This week we have been working hard on reworking our email notifications so your website communicates better with your members. Some areas we have improved in the first of our series of changes to email notifications;

  • Forums Subscriptions - Now when a person posts a topic or reply to a topic in the forums they will be automatically subscribed to that forum thread. We have added the option to turn on and off the Auto Subscribe Feature
  • Group Notices - Groups have a few new options this week. Members of groups can control email notices by the group. If the member has email notices is turned on for a specific group they will get email updates on things like new members, topic posts and replies, etc.
  • We have fixed an issue when someone joins with an account already registered it would not send an email notice.

We still have more improvements that remain in this area that will be completed through next week.

Other changes include;

  1. Fixed an issue with adding images with UPPER case file extensions in several areas of the Appearance tools. This should now work fine in all areas, as well as when you preview your theme changes, which used to also exclude any images that had their file extension in caps.
  2. Fixed a problem with previewing theme background images added in modifiers or in CSS mode (and seeing that part of the theme when in manage mode at all) if the image url had quotes around it.
  3. Corrected a bug with moving the position of some things in the appearance tools. Right Header Image and Login Menu had an error when you tried to move them in some browsers.
  4. We added the ability to set your sharing method on the Blogs. Facebook Like is the default setting
  5. When clicking on the comments link on blog entries it should scroll to the comments section.
  6. The Shout box/Comment box on profiles has been changed to move the field for posting a comment to the top.
  7. Corrected a display problem with our comments box on the downloads system. The box displayed at the top of the file information instead of below it.
  8. Plus a number of other small adjustments.

We hope you enjoy these updates! As mentioned in our post The Ning Push! Updates are coming, we have more things on the way. Like with any major changes, please tell us about problems or bugs using our support tickets.
