Email layout and text improvements
We’ve made some small but significant changes to the email layouts:
- The header logo is now slightly larger. The logo was too small for the layout, especially when a square logo was uploaded. The logo now needs to fit within 80x160px but it will automatically resize after you have uploaded it.
- The footer logo has been removed.
For your information, in the future we want to improve the emails even more by adding additional information about community content to the emails.
Adding the group context of a post
Perhaps you recognize this feeling: you’ve just clicked on a notification link and it’s brought you to an alone standing post, with no context included. We felt your pain and have now ensured that you can also see whether a post was posted on a profile or a group.
Referring to users has been improved.
We ensured that finding, tagging, mentioning, and selecting users in the platform is more consistent. It wasn’t always easy for members and content managers to reference other users when adding them as an event organizer, changing the author, or adding new members to a group. Now you can find members by searching for username, first name, and last names (wow, choice overload). This makes the experience a lot more user-friendly.
Bug Fixes
- Likes on posts and nodes contained the wrong link(s): As some of you might have noticed when somebody liked your post, topic, or event the links in the email were incorrect. This has been fixed!
- Empty system notification emails: Site managers receive notifications regarding community activity. We noticed that in Dutch platforms, the notifications for new posts and users were empty. This has been fixed!
