Forum

With a fresh design we have also added little features like ‘Copy link to this post’ or opening comments on a popup.

The new experience also supports the Simplero Chat which you can enable on the Site > Configure > Community features section:

Groups

Easy access to a list of the group members through an elegant second tab.

You can search for members, start a chat or access their social media pages.

If your business develops in a high privacy environment you can hide the members tab and/or disable mentions at the Group settings page.

Your members can also choose to hide their profile from all of the communities they belong to, as well as hiding their location or disabling chat at their user profile global settings Privacy section.

We got everyone covered!
