admin Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Hello all, as you've no doubt noticed, we're in the process of upgrading Shetlink. There will inevitably be a few bumps along the way and it'll take us a peerie while to rebuild a few features but please bear with us. All feedback, good and bad, is welcomed! New (or fixed!) features Mobile friendly formatting Streamlined code, which should mean pages load faster Facebook / Twitter / Google login - you can use your existing online accounts to log in to Shetlink Private Messaging is back! Forum activity stream - you can see what's new in one place Post reactions - you add a thumbs up, thanks, love etc to posts Tagging members in posts - you can use the '@' symbol to @membername someone in a post More, and better organised, feeds with links to external sites (news, jobs, Njord classifieds, images from photo sharing apps etc) In case anyone is wondering, the feeds are all content that the original publishers have made publicly available for sharing. With some technical jiggery pokery at this end we collate the links and present them to Shetlink visitors - we don't actually store any of the publishers' content on our servers and each of the feeds have no more than 25 of the latest links. We want highlight the excellent content that Shetlanders are producing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roachmill Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Nice job... but full screen adverts? This is on mobile as not tried it on a desktop yet. admin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted January 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Thanks for letting us know about the adverts Roachmill. It can be difficult to predict what Google will show to users. It should settle down once Google has crawled the new site properly. Roachmill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMouth Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 I am getting a new notification each time something is posted to a thread that I am subscribed to, rather than the expected behaviour, which would be just to get one. Is it me, or is it the forum? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeriebryan Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Hi @BigMouth. You can change your notification settings by clicking the peerie bell at the top of the page when you're logged in, and a link called 'notification settings' should be available in the top right of the pop-up window. From there you should be able to set the frequency and type of notifications. Let us know how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted February 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 We've added some more news sources which you'll find in the 'news' dropdown menu at the top of each page. We hope you find them useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
