Bulletin

Overview

The third release of Bulletin introduces the Inbox as well as many other changes, including in the UI/UX.

Functionality

  • Inbox Users can view recent posts and comments in the Inbox. Clicking on a link for each item in the Inbox will bring users to the group which the post/comment was made in.
  • Live updates of posts and comments Users don't have to refresh the page in order to see changes in groups that they are viewing. New posts and comments will automatically appear.
  • Show more comments When there are more than 7 comments on a post, only the most recent comments will be shown. Older comments can be seen by clicking a button.
  • Show more posts When there are more than 5 posts to a group, only the most recent posts will be shown. Older posts can be seen by clicking a button.
  • Show group members Users can now see who's a member of groups they are in. This appears in the left sidebar.
  • Show pending invites Users can see people who have been invited to the group, but have not yet joined.
  • Landing page intro The landing page has been redone to prioritize new visitors.
  • Revamped error pages Error pages have been updated.
  • Changed visual layout of comments Comments now take up less space than previously, allowing for more content to fill the page.
  • Removing users from a group Users who own a group can remove users from the group. Doing so will currently remove all related posts/comments by the removed user.

Exceptions

Some things that might not be working:

  • If a visitor correctly guesses a user's email, the visitor can cause the user's password to reset.
  • Registration emails can be delayed for prolonged periods of time (email isn't always immediately sent).
