New Feature - Top Comment

37 comments

Hi All, I'm happy to announce that we’ve released a new feature to the forum: "Top Comment". This feature gives the owner of a post (and also the admin & moderators) the ability to mark one comment for each post as Top Comment (under the 3 dots -> “Top Comment”). The comment will be marked with an icon and color mark:

 

Now you can give your readers a fast and clear approach to the most relevant comment on the thread.

Here are some cool things you can use it for:

  1. Questions and Answers - can highlight the best answer

  2. Suggestions and Ideas - show the most interesting one

  3. Contests - choose the winner

Let us know if you have any feedback about this new feature and tell us how you're using it!

That is cool! But I definitely think there are more important features to make. Like the private messaging, and the abillity to show latest forum posts on the frontpage etc! We've been waiting for too long.

Could you please give us an ETA? We've been waiting for so long :( My community are going down. People think my website is starting to get boring, because these features are missing. I know a lot of people are considering switching to Wordpress - and that would be sad! I personally love the concept of Wix. I just think some features takes too long for you to make :(

I cannot provide an ETA yet - but private messaging and latest posts are one of our top features that we want to work on so they will come.

If we get those new features + the ranking system feature and the comment response - the community would almost be complete!

Hi Monica, if you don't mind sharing, what is the name of your community. Would love to check it out.

Thank you. It's called www.blyanten.info - it's a Danish community for artists. So I guess it's hard for you to understand the language. Haha. It just went in air 2 days ago, and I already have 36 members <3

I SINCERELY DO NOT KNOW THE RIGHT THE RELEVANCE OF THIS FUNCTION. I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU MAKE CONSIDERABLE UPDATES IN THE PROFILE YOU WILL HAVE MORE ADVANTAGE. As for example sharing the posts that I liked / liked to within my profile as a list of the best post would be more relevant. So it will be possible to contact a customer to discuss his interest in that post etc.

Monica - very nice forum!

Marcos - We also understand the importance of see the forum likes in profile, the top comment feature is not instead of that - we also will work on seeing the forum likes.

And for how to use the feature, you can see in the post few examples of it.

Rafi - The forum is great this is taking care of my project because it matches what I really need, I want to congratulate you for the work, but you need these new functions to be top of the list, which I asked for, I believe it will meet the need of everyone who uses the forum.

Rafi that function where it is possible to transfer a post from one category to another may be available to transfer post to my favorite post on my profile page.

I think the private messaging and the latest forum posts etc. are the most wanted ATM, TBH Marcos :) But I like your idea.

Monica your site is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. Did you design it yourself?

Thank you so much :) I've used a pretty neutral template, and then designed all of it myself by moving it around, adding more stuff, choosing new colors and so on. I've tried to keep it simple but creative at the same time :)

    Private categories are here!

    Have you noticed the new category permissions? We are excited to announce that now you can create private categories! You can change permissions and give category access to individual members. Or, use roles and badges to give access to various sets of members. Private categories can improve your forum goals in many ways: Discuss specific topics with just the members you choose. Empower members to post comfortably, in a space where they know their audience. Share files and exclusive content with specific users. Hide discussions that might not engage your whole audience. If you’re a business, create separate categories for stakeholders and different clients. Improve the communication of internal staff - you could use a private category like a private message board , for different departments. P. S. We’ve just embarked on our mission to integrate private categories with Paid Plans , to make it easy to charge for premium forum memberships. Let's see how private categories are configured, and how you can give access to selected members: Create private categories in both ways: in the Live /Preview mode or forum settings. P ick/manage the members, roles or badges in the Live /Preview mode only. Now the most important part... Go try out the private categories feature and take your forum experience to the next level! (and don’t forget to share any feedback with us in the comments or email me: gretag@wix.com )

    Now you can limit how many posts new members can make!

    We just released a feature that allows you to choose how many posts a new user can publish in their first week . The options are 1, 5, or 10 posts per day. Or, you can choose to have “no limit”. The default is 10, but you can change it via Settings. It’s a useful way to combat spam in the forum. At the moment, this only affects new post creation. Comments, replies and likes have no limits. As always, let us know what you think!

    Badges got even better!

    As you might have heard badges were released with a BLAST. Today badges got even better. We started showing badges next to avatars on posts, comments and replies! This makes badges even more powerful when differentiating the members of your community that deserve recognition! Badges are another way to motivate and engage your community to continue interacting with your forum. They also make your forum look more exciting. You can award members for being the best or doing the most of something, or use them to give thanks and signal a member's positive participation in a community. Forum Admins can assign badges to members in 2 ways: 1. From your Dashboard > Customer Management > Site Members 2. From your Live Site > Member Profile > Three dots on a member > Assign Badges For other related questions head to: https://support.wix.com/en/site-members/creating-member-badges Don’t wait. Let a forum member know that their involvement in your forum is appreciated by sharing a status symbol - give them a badge!

Create an online community right on your site with Wix Forum. Your visitors can become members, join conversations, follow posts, leave comments and more. Plus, you can choose from beautiful layouts and customize to get the look you love. And it’s completely free!
