    New Features

    Updated e-Newsletter Feature
    - You can now add an e-newsletter to your Orbius community through the 'Add a New Feature' link instead of through the 'Manage Community' area. The updated newsletter feature allows you to create and manage a distribution list of email addresses that each posted newsletter will be sent to (in addition to all community members). Newsletter emails sent to non-members through the distribution list will contain a link at the bottom to allow the user to unsubscribe from the newsletter so that it is CAN-SPAM act compliant.

    Notification Preferences - There are new notification preferences in the 'My Account Settings' page to give members more detailed control of the emails they receive. Members can choose to receive an email notification when new content is posted in the community such as blogs, newsletters, forum posts, photos, etc. and alo when someone comments on their member page.

    Block Members - Members now have the ability to block other community members from contacting them. You can block a member by clicking the 'Block Member' link on the member's home page, or in the popout box that appears when you hover the mouse over the member's name or picture.

    Report Content - Members now have the ability to report content that they find to be abusive or inappropriate to the community administrators for review. There is a 'report' link that now appears next to comments and forum posts which will allow you to report the post. When content is reported the community administrators will receive an email with a link to the content in question and can choose to delete it if they agree with the complaint.

    New Features

    Member Activity - New member activity feeds have been added to let users easily see what other community members have posted. In the community member's page you can now see a list of all recent community member activity as well as your favorites' activity and your connections' activity. You can also view recent activity by type (i.e. forum posts, blog entries, calendar events, etc.). On users' member pages there is now an activity feed showing what that member has posted in the community as well as any updates on that member's page.
     
    Fans and Favorites - You can now add other community members to your list of favorites. This will let you follow their activity within the community. Your list of fans will show you what other members have added you to their favorites list.
     
    Member Privacy - Previously member pages were either publicly visible to anyone on the internet or private and visible only to their connections within the community. Now, by default, member pages will be visible only to other members of the community and not to anyone on the internet. Members will still have the option to make their page publicly visible to anyone on the internet or only visible to their connections within the community.
     
    Bug Fixes
    1. The member's page within a community is now able to be permissioned like all of the other features.
    2. The 'Everyone in Orbius' group in the Configure Permissions area has been renamed to 'Non-Members' to alleviate confusion about what this means.
    3. Community owners now have ownership rights to all of the groups created within their community, even if they are not a member of the group.
