One stylish announcement for you and one huge increase in functionality for you.
New Look: Top Navigation Menu
In case you haven't noticed yet, we tweaked the styling on the top navigation menu bar recently. Instead of the heavy black bar at the top, it's now a much lighter look:
It's still easy to use and in the same location the average user would expect to find basic site navigation, but it also allows your content (your Network, List or Note) to more easily be the focus of the page (making flockNote less "present" and your own parish/ministry identity - or brand - more so).
Auto-login for your Subscribers
This is a new feature we are particularly excited about because it makes flockNote so much more functional and accessible, particularly for your members who have never fully registered or who don't stay logged-in in between uses.
Basically, now any time one of your subscribers clicks the "View or Reply" link in an email they receive from you, they will automatically be logged in to that particular page and able to immediately read and reply to your Note. Likewise, they'll also be able to immediately RSVP to your events or vote in your polls without having to fully log in first.
Basically, it uses a token authentication that partially logs the user in (similary to services like Evite - if you're familiar with that). And it makes utilizing all of flockNote's features that much more seamless and accessible to your members.
Let us know what you think and if you have any questions!
