Release Today: New Options Available

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with ActiveRain Corp.

A quick post to let you all know we had a release today and how it may make your AR experience a little better.  

We fixed a few things on the back end to keep that wheel moving at lightning speed.  Our IT team is on top of all platform upgrades to continue our high authority ranking for you all.

With the addition of our new onboarding program, you may have noticed a few extra email notifications coming through.  These milestone emails let you know your blog post has reached its 50th click (yeah baby) or you've been featured (whoop, whoop) and more. These were designed to keep the newbies interested.  Remember long ago when you were new and imagine hearing your blog post had been read by 50 people....pretty powerful!  

However, for those of you who don't need another email in your already full inbox you can now opt out of these notifications.  Please go to your Settings to do so:  http://activerain.com/action/agents_secure/settings

You will see new Notification and Messaging options. Keep in mind, if you do want any of the milestone notifications you must keep the box checked.  There is no way to pick and choose which milestone emails you'd like or not like; it's all or nothing.  You can also opt out of the social sharing reminder that pops up once you post your blog entry.

   

 

Have a wonderful day Rainers!!

So that's what that was all about. I wondered what the new email was all about with the 50.  Thanks for all the hard work.  Regarding Liz' comment, isn't the link to the members About Me page (rather then directly t their blog posts) is to get consumer to read About Me?  If we like the commenter, we can subscribe to them.  Consumers might not click on About Me, if taken directly to our blog posts.

Dang, does it have to be all or nothing? I don't like the "50 view" notice but I would love to know I had been featured. I guess I'll keep figuring it out when I see a ton of new comment messages.

I like the notice on the "50" as it makes me take a look at my comments and make sure I acknowledge them all. Thanks!

I like it. Now if we could make AR tablet friendly - you can color me impressed. 

Meanwhile - this is nice, but tossing resources at something that had little impact, especially for all of us who are on the road all day.

Thanks for posting this.  I thought I was going to have to close that pop box informing me to post my blog on other sites every time I posted something.

I love getting the emails for the 50 clicks is fun and a good reinforcement.

Kerrie and the Rest of the AR Staff- thanks for the changes.  I don't think you can ever get too many "good news" emails so keep 'em coming!  I like William's idea of featuring the staff and I like Liz's idea of being able to click directly to your commenter's most recent post.  It would save us a step but not urgent.

Like many others, I was curious about the fiftieth click emails.  The emails are good reminders to look at our stats.

Kudos to ActiveRain for always looking for ways to make this platform better. I agree with others that these emails aren't just helpful for the rookies. It is a gentle reminder that ActiveRain is an important tool in our real estate business.

This is great, I like some notifications but others can just be downright annoying :)
