2. 1. Human-Readable URLs
There are no dynamic parameters in the url and users can simply copy and paste URLs or use Bookmarking
sites like Delicious, Digg and StumbleUpon. The readable URLs also improve support for Google AdSense
delivering highly-relevant, context dependent ads.
2. New Application "Media Pool"
This feature takes SITEFORUM Media Management to an even greater capability. It replaces the existing
Media Management function and makes it very easy to create galleries and libraries out of images, videos,
documents, etc.
3. Network Group Feed
Allows Network Group Managers to create a Newsfeed showing activity in a groups or across all groups. It
allows users to quickly see all activities in one group or in all the groups they have joined.
4. iPhone Application
This SITEFORUM application, available at the App Store, has been enhanced so users can now read and post
Blogs and News on their iPhone and also upload photos.
5. Automated Bounce Management using VERP
This significant new feature improves support for mass emailing and uses the Variable Envelope Return Path
(VERP) technique to enable automatic detection and removal of undeliverable email addresses. Email
addresses which cannot be reached in three successive attempts are automatically blacklisted and no longer
receive emails. Next time they log into the portal they get a message prompting them to update their profile
at which point they are removed from the blacklist.
6. Improved Performance and Scalability Options
SITEFORUM can now span portals over multiple machines for better performance, scalability, redundancy
and fault-tolerance. SITEFORUM can now be installed and run on commercial cloud-computing
architecture/infrastructures such as Amazon Webservices.
7. Export Facility for Invoices
This allows invoices to be exported into a CSV format for offline processing.
8. New variable fields for Events
These new fields make events more flexible and provide more information.
9. Improved QuickStart Assistant
Makes it easier for new users to get familiar with SITEFORUM and to configure their portal to their needs
within the first 10 minutes.
10. Expanded DesignSets and MasterSets
The DesignSets and MasterSets section include now additional designs, colour sets and header image
options. This provides a much greater variety of out-of-the-box designs for Portal Managers.
