This list will contain various updates and tweaks we are making to the system during the NexAds beta.  Commenting is turned off. Please report any issues with updates in the support forum. Thanks!

Posted: 1/21/2019
We've made a couple changes in the colorful navigation buttons that will hopefully make traveling around the system easier and more intuitive.
  • All first buttons in the navigation are considered the "Home" button now.  It will take you to the NexAds welcome page if you are not logged in, and to your Control panel if you are logged in.

  • The redundant NexAds Control Panel button was removed.

  • A MyPage button was added, which only appears if you have created a page in the system.
Let us know if you are having any kind of navigating difficulties or confusions. Thanks!



More function updates:  1/23/2018
  • Latest Planet Nexus Update added to Control panel  that includes a Subscribe/Unsubscribe button for the News forum.

  • Notification of new comments awaiting approval now on your MyPage.

  • New statistics reports added to the Statistics page:
    • Total Member Sites
    • Total Boosts Given
    • Unique Viewers in the past 24 hours by members and guests
    • Unique viewers in the last 15 minutes
  • If  a contact Email address is not provided in your Control Panel,  users will no longer see the form.
  • Automatic check for the Nexus Bar has been added.  You will see your status in the  required NexusBar code block in your control panel.  This will tell you if your bar is installed properly.  Green means you are good to go.  Red means there is something wrong with your installation and your bar cannot be detected.  Please post in the support forum if you need help with bar placement on your site.

  • Blurb export has been added.  Currently you can export your blurb text by link or embedded code. We will be refining this feature as development continues.

  • Fonts have been updated because of some display issues in Chrome browser, so you may notice some better rendering (the fuzzy bold text in Chrome was really annoying!---gone now.  ) or some slight variations in style.

  • An RSS subscription feed has been added to the control panel and to the Blurb and Comments sections on your MyPage.  (Chrome users will need to use a feed reader to view text.)

  • Login sequences are now standardized over the system.
