Summer 2014 Updates are in Full Swing!
Hi everyone!
I hope that your summer is going well and that you have had a great first half of 2014. We've been working hard on many new, exciting, and groundbreaking updates for Wealthy Affiliate and you are going to see them start to be released steadily in the upcoming weeks and months ahead!
In the past week we came out with a few subtle yet really important updates that I wanted to discuss before I talk about what's coming and what there is to look forward to for the second half of the year!
New Reply Buttons
You will notice that comment and discussion areas within Training, Blogs, Questions, and your Profile have been updated with "reply" and "actions" buttons. This has been a really big deal and an update that has already shown absolutely massive improvement to community interaction.
Here's how it looks:
Now there is a “Reply” button on both top level comments, and the replies. Historically, replying has been a problem as folks have had trouble figuring out how to reply to someone else's comments. Now it's simple, click the new reply button and send your message!
Ambassador Labels
A long time coming has been giving Ambassadors of WA a label that will follow them around the community as they help others. Now ambassadors get the visible credit that they deserve by having a new label to draw attention to their amazing contributions to Wealthy Affiliate!
Here's how it looks:
Ambassadors are some of the most helpful folks here at WA, and it's important to be able to showcase this to everyone! We have also updated the Live chat with an Ambassador “Trophy” icon, replacing the Premium "Star".
There are going to be ongoing updates to the Ambassadorship program going forward as we continue to improve and evolve this program.
The Future of Websites and Hosting
Did you know that our Wealthy Affiliate website network is one of the most powerful there is anywhere in the hosting world? We've been working hard on our network for the past 2 years and we're ready to step things up and start releasing some of the many aspects that have been brewing in the background.
Wealthy Affiliate Hosting is sophisticated, intelligent, secure, powerful, and offers many features that no other web hosts in the world offer. We're going to be rolling out some truly remarkable updates to your website building experience at WA. We want you to build the best site that you can, and host it on the absolute most powerful, secure, and reliable “managed” hosting platform.
In the second half of 2014 there are going to be some absolutely huge updates coming that are related to our website network and related services. You're going to see what we've been working so hard on in the shadows...and we know that you'll be impressed with the outcome.
Wealthy Affiliate is known for the awesome people that make up the community, the support that is available to everyone, and the friendly and safe atmosphere where you can build your online business. Now it’s time to expand on this and also be known for the most powerful, supported, and easy to use website platform in the world.
We’ve got some pretty awesome stuff in the pipeline that we think you will truly love!
Stay tuned for an exciting and feature packed second half of 2014 here at Wealthy Affiliate!
