You've all had a chance to check out the new Daily Click design, and the feedback has been largely positive - we couldn't have wished for any better! We have also received a few suggestions, all of which we are considering - so if you have any more feedback, please don't hesitate to let us know!
Every week I plan on taking you through some new features that will be arriving in the design, as well as updates to current features and answers to your questions.
This week I'll be covering the mail system - now called the messages system. It works pretty much how you would expect, however we've now had the chance to introduce a few changes here and there.
The first screen-shot shows the main messages page. Pretty much the same as now, except you can now mark multiple messages as read/unread. Also note there is now a "Sent" folder on the left - yes, finally you can view and manage messages that you have sent!
The next screen-shot shows the "Compose message" page. Again, the basic feature is the same except it is now much easier to find and send messages to users. You can select a user from your friends list, or search for a user (see screen-shots below) extremely quickly. All of this is done using background requests - so no loading new pages or opening pop-up windows!
That pretty much covers the messages system for now - we have a few other ideas we'd like to incorporate, but otherwise it is pretty much complete. Please let us know what you think, and also if you have any suggestions.
We also now have our own project page - soon you should see a new post there which answers some of the questions which were asked in the previous news post. So please check it out!
