The beta Admin Portal now supports limited functionality from the email accounts section! More features from this section are on their way.

The beta Admin Portal now supports setting up new domains!

Blast emails will now use a more intelligent “from” address whenever the “direct replies to” feature is used.

This avoids using a “no-reply” email address, which may have given the wrong impression that replies weren’t permitted, even though the “direct replies to” feature was used.

Most places where a person’s name is displayed, our software applies a sophisticated algorithm to format the name correctly, even if the user originally typed the name with poor formatting (e.g. all lowercase or all uppercase).

We’ve improved that algorithm to now intelligently convert plain quotes to smart quotes (see this changelog entry to learn more about the difference). This will help names with quotes appear more visually appealing!

Searching for members, accounts, forum posts, etc. is now quote curliness and diacritics agnostic. What does that mean?

Quote curliness refers to whether a quote is “smart” or not. Plain quotes are simply vertical, whereas smart quotes are styled either left or right. Hereʼs a comparison:

Now, searching any single quote—whether plain or smart—will find results matching any other single quote. The same goes for double quotes.

Similarly, this improvement also goes for letters with diacritics too. For example, searching for the letter will now match , , , etc.

The beta Admin Portal now supports initiating the transfer of community-managed domains to our management.

The beta Admin Portal now supports changing your website address from the domains section.

Now, if changes are made to your website's date/time settings, we'll keep those preferences in sync with our email account platform. This means new email accounts will be provisioned with the updated settings instead of any prior settings.

The confirmation email sent to members after registering now uses more intelligent subject lines and titles, taking into consideration whether account approval is required along with whether they registered themselves or another member registered for them.

When viewing the details of a blast email, you can now see where replies were directed to (if this feature was used):
