Updates to the site (second release 2022)
Written by shevek 2 years agoHi everybody,
The dev team has been busy the last 4 months to fix bugs and add small feature improvements. Notably these are:
- The profile page now shows more comments and additionally shows comments written as well (there's a read more/show less button now as well to keep the page short).
- Comments are now sorted by creation date (not last update as before).
- Community news got a small design update and it is now possible to directly add a comment.
- The display of forum post on mobile was improved to take up less space and show more text in a line.
- Search options are stored. So that when you revisit the search page you will have the same set of options each time. Note: This includes the location along with all other options.
- The display of the search results was also adapted to look nicer on smaller screens.
- The default options for search where updated. In general all profiles are returned now, while sorting favors profiles with an about me section and a profile photo.
- The visitor section moved from the bottom of the landing page to the top next to conversations making the trips feature more prominent. There's also a badge with the number of current visitors. Note: this number might not change while visitors might.
- When you get a hosting request or an invitation you can now decline without leaving a message. This is particularly useful in case you get a request that doesn't meet your criteria you gave on the profile.
- The email notification should now use a responsive layout (adapting to the window size in your email program or browser in case you use a webmailer).
This was only possible with the help of many testers and people with opinions, so please leave some praise for them below. Also special thanks to crumbking.
Cheers,
shevek
