2. New forums listing page that shows the number of topics/posts in each forum.
3. Implementation of “Like” buttons on forum posts.
4. Big revamp of the OH Notifications system
-
You can now see notifications right from the OH header, by clicking the ‘Bell’ icon.
-
Notifications are updated to look prettier
-
Automatic “mark read” - you don’t have to manually mark them anymore!
-
Mobile friendly - works just as well on your phone screen
- By default, you will also receive emails when they get new notifications. The emails are made prettier and also contain a link to the preferences page to unsubscribe
5. Notification system integration for Messageboards
-
When a member replies to your post in the messageboards, it now triggers a direct notification in the OH notification system that you can see from the header.
-
The header notification contains the name of the thread and a preview of both your post and the reply.
-
The notification is clickable - it takes you to the post
-
The email will now get sent by the Notification system.
* If you have unsubscribed from notification emails, you WILL NOT get notified by email when an MB reply comes in.
* To access this option click the “person” icon to the far right
* Settings
* Contact preferences
* Check the box for Email from ObesityHelp Members
* Save
6. Photo “Like” system (the little hearts) will also trigger notifications, and if opted in, emails.
