August 2016 Site Update

Last night we deployed our 6th update of the year to the element14 Community site. As ever, thank you to our members for all the great suggestions and bug reports.. we try to look into every problem & assess every idea. Lots of the items below are a result of member feedback.

Highlights

• Following List - we've enhanced the list of the things you're following by highlighting the row when you hover over it, and by moving the Unfollow button to the left, so it's a lot easier to use & unfollow the things you're no longer interested in getting notifications for.
• We've made Status Updates more prominent.. you'll find them in the main site navigation, and on the pop-up user cards;
• Small changes to the quiz functionality;

    - Allow prev/next link text to be customised

    - Allow text for the success/retry link to be customised

    - Set a pass mark (so we can say that 80% is enough to pass a particular quiz)
