A great software is not entirely based upon the big features, but also the little things that make you enjoy using it and helping you to accomplish your goals. We would like to introduce you some more useful tweaks and additions below.

Blog 2.1 introduces user-blogs, a personalized blog covering a topic of your choice. Given the permissions users may create several own blogs each dedicated to different aspects and subjects. Users are given the choice to control the visibility of their blogs based on a set of different access levels, for example restrict a blog to be accessible by users they're following only. It is worth noting that moderators can be given the right to override these restrictions to allow checks for questionable content.

Last but not least we would like to dive into the minor but yet important changes to the overall user interface and usability of specific features. Continue reading to learn more about the upcoming changes of WoltLab Calendar 2.1.

We consider this to be an important aspect and would like to introduce you some of the efforts we've taken to improve this even further.

Despite all these new and exciting features added to the Filebase with version 2.1, we also took the time to evaluate existing features to see if there is room for improvement. There have been a few changes that aim to improve the user experience and general handling of the Filebase. Potentially most interesting is the option to limit statistics to reflect only changes in a specific time frame to prevent statistics becoming almost static over the time.

Entries already offer a wide set of different input fields, but there are still some quite useful additions that will come along with WoltLab Filebase 2.1. Read ahead and take a glimpse of what is shipped with the upcoming version.

WoltLab Community Framework 2.x introduced dashboard boxes as a unified way to place additional content on different pages. It did that job just fine, but there were still a few more things they could've done to provide more flexibility and comfort to the administrator. WoltLab Suite Core 3.0 replaces this with a top notch box system ready to ease your life as an administrator.

Menus are the key of almost every website, they provide quick access to different sections or provide general information apart from the current content viewed by the visitor.
