magix.info - Community Blog

…that's a good way to describe the update we published on October 1st!

Besides remedying a number of errors, it also contains several new functions and adjustments, including several user requests!

Media and workshops on the profile page!

Finally, members are able to view a clearly laid-out overview of all of the media that a magix.info member has published directly on their profile page. Just open a member's profile page. Besides the already familiar profile information and the guestbook, there are now two more tabs:

The "Media" tab (pictured) let's view all of the member's media, and if you are interested in a particular form of medium, i.e. photos, videos, or songs, then that's no problem: Just select the formats that you are interested in from the menu.

The "Workshops" area also displays the workshops that a member has published on magix.info.

Where are my groups?

By the third or fourth group you join, maybe it won't be so easy to remember exactly what those groups are actually called. Now we have a solution to that problem, too: The "My community" area in your overview (just click "My overview“ via the quick access buttons) provides all of the groups that you are a member of listed neatly for you.

New sorting!

Besides the detailed member search that has been available for quite some time, you can now list members according to some new criteria.

Sort members according to "Most points" to find the most active members, show members with the most workshops, or use the new function for viewing the media on a member's page and sort according to "Most media".

Groups can also be sorted according to "Activity" now, so if you want to find the groups that are the most active in terms of discussion and presentations, then this option makes it easy!

More media!

Many members have been annoyed by the fact that only nine media items could be displayed per page.

Starting immediately, the option is available for you to specify how many pieces are shown at a time.

Just scroll to the bottom of the page of any media list, and below the page selector (just like for questions) you will see the “View“ option. Use this option to specify how many items you would like to display at once on a single page.

Browsing made easy!

A small but powerful new addition to top things off: If you enjoy browsing in the media area and have always wanted to be able to preview media by opening a new window or browser tab, well, that's now a reality. From the overview page, just open as many items in new browser tabs/windows as you like. This way you won't need to click the 'back' button in your browser a million times to get back to the original page anymore.

Of course, that's not all. There are still numerous smaller changes, especially in the “Profile“, “Groups“, and “Show & Discuss“ areas, but we just don't have enough space here to list each and every one of them...

Have fun at magix.info!
