Some updates to groups have been made along with associated changes to the crew site's front page. These are intended to make it easier to keep track of what's going on in your groups as activity around the ISDC ramps up.

On the front page you'll notice a Group Activity section has replaced Your Discussions. This new format shows the latest activity in groups that you are a member of, displayed in order of the latest post, update or comment. Any new comments since you last visited the group are displayed as a red icon, along with a summary of the latest comment. You can move through pages of posts using the page controls at the bottom of the section, without disrupting the rest of the page.

Your Discussions (and for bloggers Your Content) sections are still available - these link off the grey user icon at the top right of the section. If a new comment has been added to a post where you're already involved in a discussion (or someone adds a comment to a blog you posted) a red plus icon will be displayed.

Meet Your Moderators

Moderator profiles have been added to each group. A messaging icon has been included so that you can send an direct message directly to the moderator if you have a question about the group or its area of activity. They're there to help!

Direct Message Anyone

We've also made it easier to directly message any member, by adding the messaging icon to the pic on member's profile pages. You can visit a member's profile page by clicking their profile pic or name whenever you see it displayed in a group, in comments or in member lists.
