Changes
Key: Additions Deletions
User facing enhancements to this release include:
WYSIWYG improvements: Frequent WYSIWYG users may have noticed some issues when trying to format pages. We’ve made a number of improvements to address stability and predictability for tasks like aligning photos and lists, using tables for laying out your pages, and generally styling your content. We've also added a couple of new features while we were at it. There is now a ‘Clear Formatting’ button that removes most formatting from the selected text. There is also an option to select a 'Table Style' for your tables, which can format them as grids, lists, or columns with automatic borders and background colors.
Profile slogans: Now each user profile comes with an open field to add your own slogan or random musings. Use the slogan to tell your site community a little bit more about yourself. We’ll showcase this feature more soon in other areas.
Splash-screen: now when creators make a new site they get a splash-screen pointing out key tools.
Helper toolbar: creators also get a helper toolbar at the top of the site for key actions (edit home page, invite a friend, add page, start a thread, etc). This feature tested very well in user testing in helping new creators know where to start.
