Blog EntrySomething new for everyoneMar 9, '07 3:00 PM
for everyone
Here's a bundle of brand-new features that should make all users, both new and old (and future) alike, quite happy.

First, for the current users:
(because you're awesome)

More customization of your message board
Ever wanted to hide some of those boxes next to your message board? If you haven't, we don't blame you, because they're great. But in case you want to try something new, now you can! Just click "Preferences" on the message board page and pick the boxes you'd like to hide.

Easy image embedding elsewhere
In case you happen to find yourself on a website that isn't Multiply (why, we're not sure) and would like to share an image stored on Multiply with the unenlightened masses out there, we've made it easier to do so. Just go to the page of the particular photo you'd like to use (i.e. visit album where it's stored and click the appropriate thumbnail) and click that sweet new "share" link below. Then grab the HTML, conveniently located below, paste it into the other site and share it!

No auto-loading for non-new videos
We've changed the way the Flash video player works for repeat viewings. Now, when you view a video for the first time -- and only the first time -- it will automatically begin loading in the background, for quick playback when you press play. (Note that it won't auto-play. That's just annoying.) On subsequent viewings, it'll wait patiently for you to press play, which you're not likely to do anyway, as you're probably just there to view the new comments.

And for those who aren't users yet:
(because you're future-awesome)

Find your friends before you join
If you're on the fence about joining Multiply, or are just wondering if any of your friends have joined yet (and forgotten to tell or invite you), you can now check by clicking "Find friends" right on multiply.com. Either give us a few e-mail addresses you'd like to check, or import your entire contact list from a webmail account for full-coverage.

(This isn't just for new users, either! Current users who want to find their friends will find a link to this at the top of the search page.)

And, of course, for everyone:

A brand new look!
...and you've probably already noticed this. If you haven't, that's alright too.

Certain parts of Multiply are sporting a sleek new look. It's not a completely radical change, more a bit of a visual refresh. The new beauty, however, is more than skin-deep. Some may even call it functional. See if you can tell what's new!



So please, enjoy these new features.
Feedback, as always... you know we love it. :)

Thanks guys. Love all the great work you do.
Not wanting to seem ungrateful but I would love an auto-refresh on the message board for new messages.

If you use the Firefox browser, you can just right-click and select "Reload Every ..." menu item and select the appropriate duration.

If you are not using Firefox, what are you waiting for? ;)
tomandcathy wrote on Mar 9, '07
Am using Firefox. Thanks so much for the info. Dreams do come true . . . !!

Seems like everyones backgrounds are now gone, that's not good.

I hate the new look. My background is missing and I can't seem to use my own background any longer. Is this a penalty for not being a paying site??????? (Angry)!!!!!

... with patience!

Backgrounds will be fixed shortly. :)

Just look two replies up :)
jjjupiter wrote on Mar 9, '07
I'd like to see the white background changed back to reflect my choice of color as it was before. White is blinding to me. Will you change that feature back to the way it was prior? My eyes will appreciate it.

Unless you're using Threaded view. ; )

If you had a background image, they now work like they always did.

Thanks for keep improving!
danbirchall wrote on Mar 9, '07, edited on Mar 9, '07
See if you can tell what's new!
I can tell what's not... Recurring calendar events. You know, the feature I've been asking for since... gosh... how many years has it been now? The feature that, when Everdred asked the MUDS community what they wanted to see next, got twice as many votes as anything else. Yeah, that feature. :)

Do the gods just hate people who have recurring events, or something?

But I'm half-kidding, because that survey was just last week, so the "upcoming release" that feature makes it into will be probably one or two releases from now. :)
jackfrost wrote on Mar 9, '07
oi! Here we go again....
wonderfulwanda wrote on Mar 9, '07
Ever since the update my CSS customised theme has disappeared. I tried resaving it and etc but it doesn't work... why is that?

kyxz wrote on Mar 11, '07
at first i thought my background was missing, but i checked way down the screen, and i saw a part of my background, so that means that my background is covered. i tried setting everything to transparent, and it won't work.

but anyway, everything is neat.Ü
wonderfulwanda wrote on Mar 11, '07, edited on Mar 11, '07
For all you fellow users who had your background disappear, the following link would probably assist you.

Hi,

It would be a great ideea if you would put, in Search section, a filter to search the users by their country and by men and women.
I would appreciate an answer from you.

Thanks.

The new messages screen is nifty and all......

but how come there still isn't a "check all / delete all" or "check all on this page" box to select all messages for deletion or to select specific messages. I've got 19 pages of these and I just need to nuke them all.

HELLO: THE HEALTH, THE WORK, THE FREEDOM, THE MONEY, THE FAMILY, THE LOVE, THE FRIENDSHIP AND OTHER BLESSINGS WE VALUED THEM UNTIL WE LOSE THEM.

EVERYTHING WHAT WE DO IN OUR LIVES HIM WE CAN APPLY AN ACCOUNTING AND THE BALANCE ARE THE TURN OUT TO ADD AND TO REDUCE.

IF WE ARE GOOD ADMINISTADORES OF SAME NOSOSTROS WE WILL HAVE BALANCES IN BLACK, ON THE CONTRARY OUR BALANCES WILL BE IN RED.

THE DISEASE IS RECEIVING LIVES EVERY DAY AND TO A PRICE OF VERY HIGH SUFFERING, AS MUCH FOR THE PATIENT AS FOR ITS RELATIVES AND NEAR FRIENDS.

NORMALLY WE WERE DESIRED “HEALTH, MONEY AND LOVE”, BUT GOOD DESIRES BUT THE ACTIONS ARE NOT ENOUGH THAT WE MAKE TO OBTAIN ALL THOSE GOALS AND DREAMS OF OUR LIVES.

FOUNDING DR MAYRON WENTZ OF USANA, THE COMPANY THAT PRODUCES AND DISTRIBUTES THE BEST NUTRIENTS TO FIXED WORLD-WIDE NIVE LIKE MISSION “TO BE AVOIDED THE SUFFERING AND TO OBTAIN GREATER LONGEVITY WITH THE BEST QUALITY DE VIDA”. ALL WE WISHED TO SEE US YOUNG, WITH ENERGY AND VITALITY, BUT MAINLY WITH EXCELLENT HEALTH.

TAKING SUPPLEMENTS NUTRICIONALES EVERY DAY IS AN INVESTMENT THAT OFFERS TO WELL-BEING IN THE PRESENT AND HEALTH AND PREVENSIÓN US OF DISEASES IN THE FUTURE.

THAT WHEN WE MUST BEGIN TO TAKE SUPPLEMENTS NUTRICIONALES, BECAUSE HE IS VERY SIMPLE, SINCE WE ARE IN THE BELLY OF OUR MOTHERS. IF THEY TAKE NUTRIENTS FROM EXCELLENT QUALITY THEY WILL HAVE VERY GOOD RAW MATERIAL TO PROCREATE HEALTHY AND RESISTANT CHILDREN TO THE DISEASES

IN THIS OCCASION ANNEXED YOU ARTICLES RELATED TO THE PREVENTION OF DISEASES, THE SUBJECT OF THE “SWEET VILLAIN” OFFERS INFORMATION US OF BECAUSE WE MUST AVOID THE SUGAR AND CARBOHYDRATES BY ITS REPERCUCIONES IN OUR ORGANISM.

THE SUBJECT OF BREAST CANCER, ALSO MAKES US REFLECT IN THE USE OF ANTITRASPIRANTES AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.

THE MESSAGE ON THE DIABETES ALSO GIVES IDEAS US OF WHICH WE CAN MAKE TO AVOID TO SUFFER THE MOST MORTAL DISEASE OF OUR TIME

THE MESSAGE ON “THE WATER AND THE COCAINE USER” IS AN ALARM SO THAT WE ACT IMMEDIATELY AND WE DO NOT PAY THE CONSEQUENCES.

BEING WHICH WE HAVE DEVELOPED A CULTURE VERY SWEET AND OUR MIND TENDS TRAPS TO US WHEN WE WERE DECEIVED AND WE SAY THAT INSTEAD OF TAKING SUGAR WE CAN USE SUBSTITUTES THAT DO NOT BRING THE DAMAGES OF THE SUGAR, THE MESSAGE OF THE ASPARTAME I BELIEVE THAT IT WILL MAKE CHANGE YOU OF IDEAS.

WE LEAVE OUR HEALTH AT RANDOM, NEITHER TO GOOD DESIRES, NOR TO THE ORATIONS; LET US BE CONSCIENTIOUS OF WHICH EVERYTHING IS CAUSE AND EFFECT. OUR ORGANISM IS A SYSTEM THAT REQUIRES INSUMOS FOR ITS INFINITY OF PROCESSES THAT MAKES TO GIVE LIKE RESULT A BODY US WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT WE HAVE.

“SANO BODY IN MIND HEALS AND VICE VERSA” WE MUST BE VERY SELECTIVE WITH WHICH WE FED OUR BODY AND OUR MIND. IF WE IMPROVED OUR HABITS OF FEEDING, IF WE DEDICATED A LITTLE OUR TIME TO PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES AND IF WE FILLED OUR MIND OF POSITIVISMO, ENTHUSIASM AND LOVE, WE WILL BE ABLE TO HARVEST BY CONSEQUENCE A LIFE OF GREATER HAPPINESS


IT RECEIVES MANY GREETINGS AND A STRONG HUG

I also am a great Multiply fan, so much so that your automatic check up asked me to prove that I am human, and not a machine, I do not mind that sort of thing happening as I understand there must be rules. I do however still have an unsolved issue within my internal "Group" site, I can no longer edit photo titles. !!! ? I have reported this.
