Brand-New Viewing and Posting Restriction Functionality:

• Daily Maximums
  You asked and we listened. This powerful new tool available to all communities gives the admin a higher level of control over viewing and posting on their community. We now allow you to control and set both viewing and posting limits based on Membership (User) Levels. Use viewing and posting limits to stop spam, keep out unwanted users, reward loyal members, and control Gold Community costs. ezSupporters are exempt from viewing limits. more »
• Who Can Post & Who Can View
  We've divided the Membership Requirements section of Security Settings into two interdependent areas for more intuitive administration. You can now create both viewing restrictions and membership (posting) requirements for your community. more »

Down The Road

In 7.0 we said you could expect the ezPost interface and admin viewing and posting controls. In 7.1 we deliver those promises. We’re still working diligently on more features and bug fixes. Here’s what we’re working on for early next year:

• An Inbox feature to replace the current Private Messaging system will add basic web-based messaging functionality to the network.
• New XHTML and CSS layout Framework for communities will complete our full conversion to web-standards as well as offer the MOST CUSTOMIZEABLE community product available.
• Forum Access by user level – giving the Admin ultimate control over who has access to their community.
• Tons of mini features you’ve been requesting such as: copy topic, shadow move topic, category drop-down menus, and a select all users option in Member Management.
