New features
Thursday, 4. December 2008

Dear community members,


Many of you have probably already noticed, that several new functions have been available on magix.info for around two weeks now that enhance the overall usability.


At this point, we would like to officially introduce these changes and explain them.


magix.info goes international!


Until recently, you were only able to view community content according to the site language you selected. This feature has been altered slightly to make more content available for your enjoyment.


In the areas “Questions & Answers“, “Show & Discuss“, “Knowledge & Workshops“, and “Groups“, you can now use a simple menu to select which content should be displayed according to the different languages.


This functions independently, so you can ask English-speaking users questions but view media from any available language.

 



Simply activate the country for which you would like to browse media and then click “Display selection“.


The best part:
The community has certainly realised by now which languages they prefer in which areas, and users only need to select a language once – this selection will remain active the next time they log in.




I'm an expert!


Magix.info has allowed you to distinguish yourself as an “Expert“ for some time already. This makes it possible for other users to recognise that you are available as a pro for valuable advice in certain areas.


Until now, experts could only select from the existing categories in the “Questions & Answers“ area.

In order to enable more specific selection, you can now add more detailed information to the individual categories!

 



Simply click on “My overview“ in the upper area of the page and press the “Edit profile“ button in the upper right (below the blue navigation bar).


In the “Special skills“ area, describe your specialties in more detail with the text box.


This extra information will be displayed on your profile page.



Visit me at my website!“


Many of the community's users don't only use the community page, but also have an online album, a website, or a blog with MAGIX.


So why not indicate this on your profile page?


Open “Edit profile“ to find “About me“ directly next to the “Special skills“ tab.


You can mention this other information here for it to be displayed on magix.info.



Of course, we've also improved numerous other functions, and there shouldn't be any more problems with the media players on magix.info.


Kind regards

The magix.info team

One step backward, then two steps forward!

Dear Members,
 
As you may have noticed we had to remove the new text editor. Many errors occured where we would never have expected them. Therefore we've decided to remove it for the moment to investigate the source of the errors. Generally the problem is related to browser compatibility issues and problems using the editor and JavaScript.
 
As our developer team now is fully staffed again we can move forward again. As soon as we've resolved the editor issues we´'ll look at further smaller (and greater) usability improvements.
 
More details to follow shortly ...

Have fun on MAGIX.info!

Yours,
Ronald (magix.info development)
