August Feature Drop 🆕

Our new feature drop has just landed. Scroll down to learn about all our new features and improvements :tada:


:new: Your personal status

We’re excited to roll out a beta for Status - a new community feature.

Keep your friends and other Ribblrs in the know by updating your status regularly.

Click the ‘set custom status’ button using the menu, choose an emoji and type in your status.
You can remove status manually or set the duration of the status. You can also pause notifications for as long as the status is active.
For example set a ‘Sleeping’ status with :sleeping: emoji, check the ‘pause notifications’ box and set it to be removed in 8 hours time. (or 6, or 10- we’re not judging! :wink: )

Statuses will appear next to your profile name & photo on posts you make, chat messages and on your profile. Clicking or hovering over the emoji status will show a status text!

:new: Threads in chat :speech_balloon:

It’s been almost a year since we first rolled out our Chat feature.
We’re working on new improvements for it, and we’re excited to introduce one of them - Threads.

Because chat tends to be fast-paced it’s sometimes hard to keep up with a conversation on a specific topic.
With Threads, you can simply start a thread within a chat.

This is what Threads look like (shout out to @LittleCreatures and @CosmikEluminatedC!)

You can also click the Threads icon to see all active threads.

:new: Tag improvement

Oh wow! I’m really excited about the journal feature as I know some designers who were worried about that! I also like being able to report a make straight from the page! All of them were great though! Thank you for your hard work! :smile:
