Friends, Friends, Friends...

Another new day here at wis.dm has ushered in some brand new changes to the site.

You may have noticed that the "my friends' questions" page has now been replaced by a "questions for me" page. Let's take a quick look at what this means and what exactly has changed.

Over the past few months many of you have let us know that you would rather not have your inbox filled up with messages from other users when they "share" a question with you. Well, we agree with you and starting today your inbox will now be reserved for messages sent from other users and not page after page of shared question messages.

The "questions for me" page now serves a two-fold purpose. Just like the old page, you will still see questions asked by all your friends here. In addition, you will now also see questions that other users have shared with you. When another wis.dmer shares a question with you it will appear on the "questions for me" page with an extra line showing you which wis.dm user shared the question with you.

As a result of the new "questions for me" features, the question sharing section also looks slightly different. When sharing a question via email, you can now also include a personal message to the recipient. When sharing a question with your friends on wis.dm, they will no longer receive a message in their inbox; instead they will see the question show up on their "questions for me" page.

Hopefully this will help all of you manage your inboxes a little easier and allow you to find all the great content on wis.dm that your friends are participating in more easily.

Enjoy the new changes and keep on wis.dming.
