Hello Everyone!
We are very excited to announce that we are implementing a few upgrades to the forums tomorrow (7/13) at around 8:30 AM PDT. 1 hour of downtime is expected.
We have been working to improve the experience on AirlinePilotForums and these are just a few next steps. More are expected to come in the next few months.
These upgrades have received positive feedback when implemented in other communities, and we look forward to hearing your comments
We will keep everyone posted, please let us know what you think!
These are the main upgrades that we will be pushing tomorrow:
- We will upgrade the forum to a much stronger, more secure, and better performing version. It is a platform/back end change, the look and feel of the site will look and feel the same. This update also includes various bug fixes and optimizations.
- We will implement a couple of relevant upgrades to improve the experience for our growing audience of mobile users:
- “Infinite scrolling”: content will load continuously as users scroll down the page
- “Recommended thread”: a new thread recommendation will load when users reach the last comment of a thread. The recommendations are based on relevance (i.e. among other signals, keywords, and age of the thread).
We hope you enjoy the update!
