We wanted to give you a quick update on a few upcoming changes and what's on tap for next week.  First, we are working hard to make sure that every last user can access DailyStrength; there is no larger priority for us.   We have identified the root causes of the login issues and are working directly with those users affected.

Then, we are working on a number of fixes requested by the community.  Namely, early next week, we are hoping to push out the following fixes:

- Hugs and Private Messages will be properly ordered

- Friends and Group Member lists will be sorted by who is online first (we will be adding the ability to sort by a variety of filters including alphabet, newest members, etc. in an upcoming release)

- Hugs will be displayed larger so that you can see the entire hug message

- Links to Crisis Hotlines will be prominently available in both the footer and menus of the site (as mentioned crisis centers will also be coming back in the coming weeks)

- We will display 15 posts at once rather than 10 to eliminate the need to keep clicking the “load more” button.

- The Intermittent blank/white page when clicking on the “Support Groups” link will be fixed  

- You will be able to view the photos that you had added to your journal entries. 

As we continue to make these quick fixes we are also working on a number of larger features.  Photos will be coming back to the site.  Community Leaders, we heard your needs too, and are working on a number of the CL fixes that we discussed - specifically seeing deleted comments, being able to friend and hug everyone, and a few other tools that will hopefully make running your groups easier to handle. 

 We continue to read all of the comments and really do value everyone's feedback.  We are working hard to make sure that DailyStrength continues to be a place where everyone feels valued and heard and is free to find strength in a community of their peers.

Thank you!

Team DS
