mixxt brings harmony

September 25th, 2008 Comments(1)

This week, mixxt has brought harmony to all our users, partners and friends by releasing a new update! Based on a proposal of our Country Manager Turkey, Şekip Can Gökalp, version 0.14 of our Social Network kit now bears the name “harmony”.

What’s new?

In order to fulfil the desires of our users we implemented the option to stay “logged in” on our system for 14 days. We just wanted to make our users feel even more comfortable with handling mixxt and with managing their user profiles. Another news: Users of nickname networks may now change their own nicknames on their profile page. Of course, there is no such option in real name networks.

Lifestream

We continued to optimise our lifestream: Network admins may now add blog posts to appear in the stream. Via the menu builder, they can also put the lifestream on a separate tab in the menu bar.

Design

We also got creative on the themes and added six new ones to our repertoire! They let you arrange and design your networks in the basic way or even give them a personal touch by individually configuring their appearance.

Help and navigation

Everyone who knows the fairytale of Hansel and Gretel must have heard of the breadcrumbs story. These little crumbs provide orientation and indicate the correct path. In our forum module, we have now implemented the so called “breadcrumb navigation“. On the one hand, it lets you keep track of your location in the forum, on the other hand it leads you through the forum navigation by linking to the superordinate levels.

In addition, we improved various help texts and added more internal linking to facilitate navigation and operation in the Social Networks for both admins and network members.

And now: Experience a harmonious Social Networking with mixxt!
