I just upgraded to the latest version of the site software and it didn’t even crash which was a refreshing change.
Apparently the latest version has these new features. They look interesting, so I’m passing them along. I haven’t tested, looked at, or investigated any of these new features. My sole contribution was a cut and paste.
Users can set a custom emoji and message to share their current status with the community.
Community members can add categories, tags, and chat channels to their sidebar for easy access to the discussions they care most about.
Create channels for community members to chat more informally and build relationships.
