Blog EntryThat cool new homepage thing (and more!)Jan 17, '07 5:51 PM
for everyone
Having already taken a sneak peek at what is certainly the best way to customize your Multiply homepage, we thought now would be the perfect time to announce some other improvements/new stuff that are coming soon actually already available now!

Behold:

Complete homepage edit mode. Yup, we mentioned this last Friday, and linked it again ten seconds ago. But it's so incredibly cool that we're going to link it again. Link.

New content imports. If you've posted video clips to MySpace or Metacafe, or added favorites on YouTube, you can now easily bring them over and share them on Multiply as well.

Post-posting options. Now after you post new content to Multiply, you'll be presented with a page with links to other things you may want to do with your post, like e-mail it to others who aren't yet on Multiply, check out detailed information on who will be able to view it, change your e-mail alert settings... and so on. Post something new and have a look!

Message board preview for invitees. When you invite someone to join Multiply, they'll see a preview of what their message board will look like after they join -- containing actual posts from actual people in their would-be network. This allows people to get a taste of what Multiply is really about before signing up!

So enjoy this batch of changes.
As always, we'd be delighted to hear what your think of them.

it's one of the best things that have happened to multiply since.. this ought to attract more people to this awesome community..ü très bien, multiply!

edit:

May i just notify the multiply staff that I've found a glitch in the new customize feature. This particularly applies to Multiply Groups and not individual blogs. When i activate the customization feature in the multiply group, then go to the contacts box and click "edit", at first everything will seem fine. You can change the settings therein just like how you would in any of the other boxes. But once you scroll the page down to see more of the list of contacts, you can't scroll back up again to where you can edit the title of the contact box, etc. This particularly applies to groups with more than 14 contacts (on a 1024x768 screen) or more than 19 contacts (on a 1280x1024 screen).

edit:

okay, multiply has resolved the issue. merci beaucoup!!ü

I absolutely love the new Customize feature! Sometimes, pages don't always load correctly in IE and we aren't able to edit the boxes when hovering over them. Now we can, which is awesome! Multiply just keeps getting better and better!

Pretty cool. What we need now is to be able to customise our GoogleAds background colour and everything would be perfect. Good job!

astroworks wrote on Jan 18, '07
thats cool. i thought there's an error on my page... geez i should read the update first..
toen wrote on Jan 18, '07
Cool. especially new content imports, that could make (& help) people move to mp.
last time I also import all my posts from blogger to mp, thats why i move here (hope I can do so for my space & Y360).
btw looking forward to get more cool template please. And easier preview for custom theme, a preview gallery would help (instead of make a preview one by one).
Cheers :)

Is it just me or the UPLOADER also changed? Upon uploading, the order of the pictures are messed up! It's all in random and it makes it so hard to rearrange the photos if a lot of photos are uploaded!

hi there,

I appreciate the changes, over all they seem positive and helpful. I am concerned about things that are working fine that you seem to change when you add these things.

In this instance, since your changes have been implemented I'm having issues with my photos where they just load randomly instead of the order they're in on my harddrive which is how they used to load.

I've also noticed that you've changed the headshot function so that instead of seeing current and previous headshots together and choosing from them or adding more, I can only add one. Please bring back the old system.

And where's my profile? I want to edit it but can't find it.

Anyway, thanks for all you do.
nativegyrl wrote on Jan 21, '07
change is good, but not in this case...I cannot edit my page at all. all of the links are missing. the only ones that show up is headshot and title..all other ediiting links are simply not there...I've sent several requests for help, but get no response...I understand that you all are busy and whatnot...and I wouldn't get so upset about a response to my complaints if I saw matters rectified efficiently. watiting weeks on hand for a simple glitch to be fixed is kinda frustrating.

I appreciate upgrading, but if the upgrade is only making matters worse than they were, then you have to re-evaluate the upgrade...ask yourselves if this is worth it, then fix it or if not, simply to let it go......in my humble opinion..."IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT"
