✳ Hi again Similar Worlds! :) We wish you a Happy November and Thanksgiving Season! 🦃 🛍 🔖 🤖
We have some great new announcements for you about recent developments to the site, as well as something special coming next. 😃
• Import your Experience Project profile
We have allowed users for months to import their EP exported archives into Similar Worlds.
Now with the latest release, you are finally able to see all of your old Experience Project contents conveniently on Similar Worlds!
You can import your EP account/archive into SW if you haven't already, via this link: https://similarworlds.com/settings-importep
Once your EP archive has been imported and processed, you will be able to see and control:
• EP Imported Posts - Stories and Questions that you posted on EP. Visit your SW profile to see your EP posts (they will be at the end of your posts list).
• EP Imported Messages - A full history of your Private Message conversations from EP: https://similarworlds.com/messages?tab=imported
• EP Imported Groups - A list of Groups you were actively joined to on EP: https://similarworlds.com/Nuno/groups?tab=archive (this links to Nuno's imported groups as an example)
• EP Imported Photos - Images you Received or Sent on EP can be found in the Private album called "Imported Images".
(You are able to Hide and/or Delete any EP imported content you wish to)
• Control Post Notifications You now have much better control over your subscription/notification preferences per post.
• VIP Feature: Close Post After 3 hours from posting a Story or Question on SW, you can choose to Close/Lock that post from receiving further comments.
• Improvements to Private Messages
○ Archive Messages - To help avoid accidental permanent deletion of conversations.
○ "Unread Messages" Filter - To make it easier to find all unread messages.
○ Users cannot send images in new conversations without the recipient first ever responding - To prevent inappropriate unsolicited pictures.
○ User tagging now works correctly Private Messages (no notifications sent).
• Improvements to Preventing User Abuse
○ After Unblocking a user, there will now be a 24 hour wait period before being able to Block that user again.
○ Replaced/Changed usernames are now Locked from being taken for 1 week, to help prevent impersonation and other malicious actions.
• Coming Next/Soon 💥
○ SW App and Mobile Notifications 📱 :)
We aim to be more frequent with updates and user support in the coming weeks and months. Thanks again for your attention and support! - The SW Team
@aaatheaaa Well why would you unblock them the first place and you can set your setting so you cannot get pic's like that. Well I was just trying to help maybe try writing to Sw admim maybe the have another suggestion.
At the time you are unblocking someone, we are already warning you in the popup that you'll have to wait until you can block this person again.
We implemented this because some users were abusing of Unblock/Block to make other users think that people can bypass the Block feature. This was being used for harassment.
We don't see any reason why would someone want to unlock a user for less than 24 hours.
An app coming soon? Hell yes! Though it has been a few months since this post...so how much hope should I have that an app will be created before the summer?
@ManicMicah Hello. If you are on an Android, you can enter Similar Worlds on the Google Chrome app, and then do "Add to Homescreen". This will actually install an app of Similar Worlds.
After that, go to the Notifications page, and press the orange "Turn On" next to "Push Notifications".
This will make Similar Worlds behave 100% like an app :)
Hello is there a rule on how many accounts one person can have? I thought there was you can only have one but someone told me you can have many you just cannot have many to avoid being blocked is this true?
@charley6000 You're welcome. Please see this announcement just posted: https://similarworlds.com/100-Admin-Announcements/1712594-Hello-SW-members-Please-note-that-we-are-currently
