๐Ÿคฃ๐ŸŽ‰ Happy New Year, Similar Worlds! ๐Ÿ˜€
The SW Team has quite a few exciting things to announce.

[sep]

[big]โ€ข Best Answer ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ[/big]
You can now finally choose a Best Answer for your questions!
Once you pick a best answer, that answer will stay on top of all others.
You can change the best answer at any time.


[big]โ€ข Featured Posts ๐Ÿ“Œ[/big]
You can feature up to 5 posts.
Featured posts are moved to the top of the first page of your Profile.
Useful if you want to keep something important on the first page, without preventing you from posting more stories!


[big]โ€ข Auto-Save Draft Posts ๐Ÿ’พ[/big]
We have all experienced once losing all our work, when our device decides to crash in the middle of writing a huge text.
We are now saving your post every few seconds, so you don't lose your contents if your browser crashes or the page refreshes.
Please note that this only works on modern browsers and if you are not using the Incognito mode.


[big]โ€ข Account Activation and Email Change notifications ๐Ÿ›Ž[/big]
Many users verify their email addresses using the method of sending an email to us.
We found that many of the emails sent to us are not from the same email address that the user has signed-up with, either because there is a typo on the email or because the user sent the email from another email they own.

So, we are now sending notifications when we detect the email did not match, telling the user what might be wrong, but also send a notification when the activation worked, so the user is aware that we processed it.


[big]โ€ข Improvements in Search ๐Ÿ”Ž[/big]
โ€ข Search is faster now, as we improved our backend.
โ€ข It's possible to search through the address bar if you are on Google Chrome, pressing TAB, and also through Firefox's Search bar.
โ€ข Group search now provides "related" results. For example, if you search for "dogs", groups with "dog" (singular) will be included.


[big]โ€ข Other Improvements โš’[/big]

As always, there are plenty of other improvements and fixes we make as we progress:

โ€ข Our 404 error pages are now consistent with the rest of the website.
โ€ข A few tweaks, improvements and fixes to our recently released Gifts features.
โ€ข Loads of progress in stopping trolls/spammers on Similar Worlds. We've had a huge decrease recently!
โ€ข iPhone users should not get an unexpected auto-zoom anymore when they focus on a text field.
โ€ข We will now show the full date (e.g. Dec 12th, 2016 instead of "1 mth ago") if the post is older than a few days.


[big]โ€ข Coming Soon โฑ[/big]

[b]Submitted Reports[/b]
You'll be able to see feedback about the action staff has taken on each report submitted by you.

---

Thank you for your support and we hope you stay with us.

We are constantly listening to your suggestions, so please keep giving them to us, as they are very important to the future of Similar Worlds.

Very kind regards,
- The SW Team

looks good, but it would be nice if when we used the back button if we went back to the point on the page where we were rather than the top of the page. It would make sorting through notifications much easier.

Hi I have a trick I use for this I right click and open in a new tab so I don't loose where I'm at in the feeds.
goliathtree ยท 56-60, M
I do that too, but it would be nice not to have to.
Jessa29 ยท 36-40, FMod
@goliathtree: this the only other information I have on this at this time....

โ–ˆโ–ˆ Remember Position on Page
Suggestion: Let the page automatically scroll down to the previous position when hitting the back button of the browser.

This is rather hard to achieve, but the admins will look for a solution at a later stage.

is there a base help page for SW that explains some of the things/intents that site has? can someone add (or if it doesn't exist), create an explanation for things like... the difference between a user showing up as 'removed' with a purple X vs. a red X vs. a circle with a line through it? it seems like it'd be good to be able to point people to a page for some general usage questions that often come up and be able to ask questions that can then be added to the help page. things like 'what's the difference between mute and block? why would you choose one instead of the other?'

When can we expect the mobile app to be available for download?

@Wedgie121: From Admin Nuno- Hello,

We apologize for the confusion.

As we are working in other urgent features/improvements at the same time, our work in loading your EP contents is still in development.

The reason we have that button/panel is to allow us collect some contents so that we can test the load/import when we start developing. We need to have several examples to ensure the load/import will work well and free of bugs when we avail that to users.

If you have uploaded your EP contents, you don't have to upload again. It's currently saved in a secure place, and we will let you know when they are ready to be loaded/imported. Don't worry - we will allow you to choose what contents to import.

Thank you for understanding.
Very kind regards,
Nuno

quick question: how do i feature a story?
do i just use the pin icon in the corner?
Jessa29 ยท 36-40, FMod
Hi go to your profile and by the time there should be a feature story button. I hope this helps :)
Dainbramadge ยท 56-60, M
Oh .. well I missed this by a month . LOL
I like all the new improvements. It really does feel like home now. :-)

Thank you so much. Especially for the dates. I've been lobbying for this since the beginning. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’•
[c=#BF0080]Excellent!! I love that there will be a feature that allows us to know the status of a report. ๐Ÿ‘[/c]

Hello,

Should you start respecting the people here, your profile will not get a warning anymore.

Thank you.

Thank you love the new options
SpiritOfSoul ยท 26-30, F
Great news, Nuno. Bravo!
I was wondering if you could also introduce Current Question, Most Responded Question and Most Liked (hearted) Question in a box against each profile. This existed on EP.
Best wishes for more and more improvements on SimilarWorlds.
It's truly a great place to be.๐Ÿ‘
Ironicman ยท 56-60, M
Some great improvements. Is there any news on an App for smartphone users? It seems to have gone quiet so I guess there are no plans? Not a deal breaker, however, an App will provide another dimension to thousands of users. Thanks

Splendid . Thank you.

This is awesome! Thank you, Similar Worlds team! I'm so glad, especially for the Best Answer and the featured features. Hehe, featured features. I'm mature. I swear.
Annie ยท 31-35, F
Has something changed with usernames? Mine used to have 2 hyphens in it now they are 'x's.
Jessa29 ยท 36-40, FMod
Yes the site is taking out the - and putting the x's in their place.
ManicMicah ยท 22-25, M
@Jessa29: For what reason?
SW-User
Thanks for the update.
They are really great and helpful.

If I may.
Maybe we can get a poke button?
To poke other users. That would be fun.

To see how much pokes I got..

Private how?

If you go to your Account Settings, you'll see a section called Privacy Settings. There you can set who can see different parts of your profile.
