Updates to Groups & Posts ✌️🙂
☮️ 🕊️ Hello, Similar Worlds! 🛸 🛩️
The SW Team is pleased to provide you with an update of what has been implemented recently.
[sep]
⚠️⚠️ We understand that at first it might seem we have removed features from Similar Worlds, but we haven't removed anything.
We have just simplified/reorganized some things, that make total sense to do 👍 (as some people have said -- "it's about time").
✌️🙂
[big]All features of Stories and Questions are now merged 📝[/big]
• You can now add a Title/Question to all Posts, no matter what group they are.
• Polls can be added to all posts in any group.
• You can select a "Best Comment" in all your posts.
All Groups (whether they start with "I" or not) are now similar in terms of functionality.
There is no longer a "Me Too" or "Subscribe" button, just [b]"Follow"[/b] instead.
"Stories" and "Questions" are now just called "Posts", no longer with any distinctions.
[big]It is now much easier to create Posts 📨[/big]
• Improved interface of the "New Post" form.
• You don't have to choose between a Story or a Question. It's just a "Post".
• Made the Audience/Rating of the post simpler, when choosing what type of contents your post has.
• If you pressed "Add Poll", there is now a button to "Remove Poll" if you want to get rid of it (before posting).
• As soon as you enter/focus the "Group - type to search" field, we straight away display some groups that may be relevant to you.
[big]We improved the Polls 📊[/big]
• It is now possible to see what answers have you voted to in Polls, and remove them.
• Before, on non-multiple answer Polls, if you voted for another answer, it would just replace your previous answer. Now you'll get an error if you try to vote on another answer, before explicitly removing your existing one.
• Poll owners can now set a limit on multiple answers per user.
• Poll owners will now automatically see all the votes, without having to press "Show Results" all the time.
• Poll owners can now change the Single/Multiple answer setting after the post went live.
• Poll owners can now disable notifications of new votes.
[big]Other changes 🔨[/big]
• The "Popular Groups" page got some improvements, such as being easy to switch between "Popular" and "Recently Active", and pagination (up to 5 pages of groups).
• Since we reduced the Stories/Questions links into a Posts links, we moved the "Gift Shop" link to the main menu.
[big]System Fixes and Improvements 🧱️[/big]
We are continuously working on improving security and other technical elements.
As usual, we always work in correcting known glitches, fix bugs, and make improvements to the System, Security and User Interface.
💡 [b][c=#BF0000]If you find any weird behavior in our system, please let us know straight away by sending any of the admins a Private Message, an email to us or open a Staff Support Ticket.
This is the best way to reach us (rather than creating a public post) and ensure that we will look into the problem as soon as possible.[/c][/b]

Thank you for your support and we hope you continue to 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, 🧡
