We just put up a new batch of enhancements to ActiveRain based off of your requests these past couple weeks. These enhancements are a part of a continuous effort to improve your experience and provide you with more ways to find content.
New filter for blog posts:
Enhancement #1 is an additional filter for browsing blog posts that provides a new way to find posts by who wrote them.

You can now do things such as show only posts written by loan officers or choose to show only the posts targeted to real estate professionals of those bloggers to whom you have subscribed(a request from multiple members). You can even browse through posts made by new members to ActiveRain.
Better featuring and sorting in groups:

1. Now we will have an archived list of past featured posts in groups. The last five featured posts will remain at the top of the group. The rest will be in a separate list.
2. This means there is no need to un-feature posts to clear up space, and you'll be able to check back for past featured group posts.
3. Posts in groups can now be filtered by several criteria besides last update.
Hopefully these updates help the members of ActiveRain, there are plenty more coming down the pipe...
