Dear TanglerLive Community
This time last month we posted news about new features we had deployed specifically to address …. offensive language; the ability to “quote” other users’ messages; the deployment of flashing tab updates to signal the arrival of new messages and …. improved navigation. Well, don’t imagine our engineers have since been holidaying! Here’s an outline of what’s new with the very latest release:
New Text Editor
What’s a Text Editor? It’s that box where you do your writing, post your links, embed your pictures.
If you play with this you will find aside from an improved actual text editor, posting of images and videos is altogether neater.
Moderation tool: Banning users
We really hope this tool will not have to be taken up too regularly! A creator of a topic has ownership of that topic and if he or she wants to delete it and everything that goes with it then that’s the creator’s prerogative. Some of our users asked whether we could improve upon that capability? They said “What a about a situation where a topic is going swimmingly but one little user is being annoying, offensive or plain objectionable?” Well worry no longer. Registered Users can now ban an offending party. Run your cursor over a user’s name and as well as the usual … you can now Ban!
Were you to ban Loic whether as a Guest or as a Registered User this is what Loic would see. This is a hypothetical situation, at least we hope it is, when it comes to ‘Loic’. The thing is Loic is a talented staffer at Tangler! He is French too and you never want to make the French cross!
Please note Moderation Tools are only awarded to Registered Users who have created more than 5 topics.
Improved Performance
Our team regularly conduct code reviews to see what whether they other perhaps better ways to deliver our service. In our most recent review we found a way we could do some optimisation to TanglerLive. These changes result in our now delivering an improved experience to all our users at their individual coal faces AKA their computers. Enjoy!
