Open Social site has been updated once again. In this message, we would like inform you the new features and improvements we have added to Open Social.

What has been improved in Version 1.5

Now it is possible to share content such as events or topics that are visible to the public on social media. This makes it easier to attract attention to the community.

Make profile images clickable

We made it possible to go to a user’s profile by clicking his/her profile image in activity stream, comments etc. This makes getting to know one another in the community much easier.

See all search results in one tab

We made it possible to see all the relevant search results in one tab. This makes searching for a piece of content, a user or a group much easier.

Edit account renamed to settings

Based on the usability study results, the ‘edit account’ button is renamed into ‘settings’. It gives users a better idea what this button can be used for.

  • In posts, profile image is now better aligned with the comment field.
