Notification System Updates
A new email and notification system has been released! You will find a new section in your dashboard "Settings > Notifications”.

You can enable/disable growls & emails for the following items.


More notifications will be added soon!


New Friend System
A new friend system has been enabled for everyone. The new friend system is easy to use and will form an important backbone of future features we have planned. The following and followers system has been removed, as the feature was more confusing than useful.



All existing friends have been imported and any users you were previously following will get a friend request pending automatically.

There are several new items in your dashboard:

Friends
This lists all your current friends. You can see who is online, their last activity time and ability to sort appropriately.

Requests
This section lists any pending friend requests you may have. You can confirm or ignore requests here.

Blocked Users
This lists all the users you have blocked and the date of blocking. If you block a user they will not be able to private message you, leave comments on your wall or make friends with you.

Find or Invite Friends
This section allows you to find friends on Enjin or invite friends from popular services such as Hotmail, Facebook and others. You can also share a special link with users you want to invite and they will automatically receive a friend request from you when they signup.



Profile Updates
The profile has a new friend widget, displaying a grid of all your friends. The profile friends tab was also updated to better reflect the new system.


Wall updates
You can now post links, videos and photos directly on your wall. The wall system will automatically scrape any links you paste and return a title, thumbnail and description. You can edit the title and description.



YouTube video will play directly on wall by clicking the video thumbnail.


Forum Thread Like & Tweet


You can enable Facebook Likes and Tweets for each forum and 2 buttons will appear for every thread in that forum. To disable this feature, please go to your forum admin section for each forum.
