Hi Team,

We’re happy to announce that there will be a site update going out - most likely next week, on the morning of January 30th. In a short while I will be making a post about the update in the DSMC. 

Here is what will likely be included in the update. 

- Logged-in header changes:

   - The previous link to "Support Groups" in the header is now called "My Groups" and will link directly to your groups

   - Links to Crisis Resources and the Help / FAQ is now present in the header

   - The Friends link in the header is now an icon

- Discussion Posts - The "Last Reply By" is back!

- If you log-in from the forgot password page, you will no longer get greeted by an error.

- Hugback now properly populates if you've received multiple hugs.

- The discussion display on iPad devices now has more room for the actual discussion.

- The number of ads has been reduced.

- On the Support Groups directory page, under the "Support Groups A-Z" section, the button to toggle between Support Groups and Community Groups is fixed.

- Emails and Notifications

   - Community Group Founders no longer have notification settings for when someone joins the group or posts a new topic on the edit group page.  Instead, these are now managed in the user profile settings (Notification Settings).

   - Community Group Founders now properly receive emails and notifications pertaining to the groups that they have founded.

   - Notficiation settings were not properly being saved.  As a result, all users have been reset to the default settings.  Please go in and re-save your notification preferences after the update.

   - Email notifications should now be properly sending.  There were many cases in which emails were not being sent.  These have been fixed!

   - You should now properly receive all notifications for the site in the notification drawer.

   - Links to Journals in Journal Emails will now work if there were special characters (such as commas) in the journal title.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
