Wetpaint Update
Hey, TAR Fans!
The UI shifts of Wetpaint's recent release are significant enough that I wanted to provide an overview page as a reference for familiarizing yourself with the new allocation of your favorite wiki tools and features. And, to introduce some new ones that are pretty cool!
Horizontal Navigation Bar:
To provide a wider WYSIWYG editing area, the tools and functions formerly located in the right column have been reallocated as follows:
1 Personal Toolbox: The personal toolbox (where you access your profile, messages, etc.) has been relocated to a new global navigation bar across the top of the page. Just click the ‘My Profile’ link to access your messages or to go directly to your profile page.
2 Page Toolbox: The wiki page tools (edit page, add tags, add To-Dos, manage page, etc.) are now aligned horizontally across the top of each wiki page. You'll see the Add page option below the navigation menu.
3 Recent Site Activity module: The Recent Activity module has been removed from the home page and replaced by the new and vastly improved What’s New site area. You'll see the access point to it in the horizontal bar above the navigation menu.
3 What’s New:
This new activity dashboard contains site-wide notifications on changes to pages and threads. Additionally it includes notification of a number of community-oriented changes such as friend connections, the sending of compliments, and new members.
4 Site Members Page Redesign:
The Site Members area, accessible from the Members link in the horizontal menu, has received a facelift, and now provides easy ways to filter members by role or friends. You can also sort (yes, sort!) the member lists by the number of page edits and threads they’ve made as well as by their join date, most recent activity, and username.
5 Promote My Site (only available to moderators and administrators):
This new section includes a handful of features, tips, and data on how to drive contribution and more traffic to the site.
Share your feedback about these enhancements below!
