Today we upgraded the BON message system.

You will notice a slightly different layout but with all the same features.

The biggest change is in the ‘Compose’ section. You can now send the same message to multiple people.

Another new feature is the ability to forward a message.

If you have any concerns about the new Message system please leave a comment below.

Thanks,

This morning we launched a new Chat feature that allows you to have private chat sessions with your online friends.

This is still in Beta and we encourage members to send us feedback.

If you don’t want to chat with other members you can use the Offline Mode to hide yourself from other members. This is setting is located in Account, Edit Account:

Give it a try and let us know what features you would like to see added to Private Chat.

At 2.30pm today we posted an update that fixes some of the reported bugs related to the last update.

Here is a summary of new features and bug fixes.

New Security Settings

You can now control who can view your Feed on your profile.

Option A: Allow Everyone to view my wall/feed. <--- this is the default option
Option B: Allow only my friends to view my wall/feed. <---- greater privacy

Birthday Setting

A. Show my birthday with year
B. Show my birthday without year (<--- best option for those that want to get birthday wishes but do not want to reveal their age)
C. Don't show my birthday at all

New Blocking and Reporting controls

You can now block/report profiles that are marked as private.

Improved Search and Friend Browsing

The improved Search now remembers your search settings and last search page. You can now click on a search result, look at a profile and hit the back arrow and be right back where you left the search. This same functionality is also available when browsing your friends list.

Thank you to all members that reported this missing feature!

Feed Comments

You now get an email alert when a member comments on your status update. The link takes you to a page where you can see the new comment.

We are still working on the new comment system and will be making some more improvements on how you can quickly browse and read notifications.
