We just finished pushing out two great new features that were popular requests from our beta community. Both new features provide a great step forward for BearHug and improve the product even more for our growing fan base.
ThinkTank
Every community is full of ideas. Tapping into this knowledge is critical for community-driven organizations. ThinkTank is an intuitive and powerful way to allow your community to submit their ideas and vote on their favorite ideas submitted by your community. The best ideas float to the top and lets you see what is most important to your community.
ThinkTank ideas are moderated, just like Answers and FirstRate. Anyone can vote – no registration is required (we use special code/magic to keep people from voting multiple times).
Visitors can vote for any idea directly from the listing page or they can zoom into the details of the idea. Community members may respond to any idea and further the conversation.
Customized Widget Tabs
One of the first requests that we received had to do with customizations available to our tab widget. Well, we put on our thinking caps and came up with an awesome management tool that lets you specify size, color, placement, text, and default behaviors. Go crazy!! We had even more ideas, but didn’t want to wait any longer. Starting immediately you can choose all kinds of options for your widget. Whether you want it on the top, bottom, left, right, etc., your options are now far and wide. We hope this makes it even easier for you to use BearHug with your community.
These ideas were both requested by our user community. We hope you’ll continue to share your ideas and ways we can improve BearHug. In fact, with this release, you can submit them directly through ThinkTank!
