Avatar & Payment options selector

26/11/2010

Greetings Webmasters,

We have released a new version of the site in the last few days with some additional features we hope you approve of.

First is the introduction of Avatars. This feature allows users to create a virtual version of themselves for their profile. It is handy when people are reluctant to upload photos and where the photos they have are unsuitable for use as a main photo. It also provides an entertaining game of dress-up especially for the CD members who also have access to the female wardrobe.

The serious goal of this feature is retention. Many items are unlocked only by using the site and we award points for creating content (photos, blogs, forum posts) that other members like. Additionally users can get instant access to many items by upgrading to a premium membership.

We will be sending an announcement email about this feature to members with help on how to use it shortly.

The second major feature is the ability to choose which payment mechanism you use on your site. You should see a new button "Payment Options" on this page in SI. This will allow you to choose if you want your site to accept credit card, mobile or UKash payment options on your site.

We are always looking for ways to improve the platform for you so please don't hesitate to contact us with ideas.

Best regards,

Michael.
