Latest news & related topics

The Universal Thread 2013 has been released. Among the new items, we include the support for many things such as HTML 5, cross-browser compliant, no more plug-ins required, configure as you go, permanent connection to the server, less data transferred across the wire, help as you go, list multiple column search, list settings auto save, faster and simpler.

HTML 5 support The site is now using HTML 5 and among several upcoming benefits, one of them is that there is no longer a need for specific browsers to install plugins to be able to play the sound notification of replies and private messages. More HTML 5 support will be added as needed.		Cross-browser compliant The site has been restructured to support Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari. Thus, the stylesheet and the look of the interface of the support area is the same no matter which browser you are using. We are looking at Opera support soon.

Permanent connection Even if your Internet connection goes down, as soon as it is back online, the communication with the Universal Thread will restart and your notification counters and other related options will be verified every minute.		Better configuration All the settings for the support area are now in the support area, either at the option level by the use of the Options tab, by the Dashboard Settings option for generic settings available to all members, or by the Dashboard Subcribers option for settings available to our subscribers.

List multiple column search You asked for it and we delivered it. For every list on the site, you can now apply more than one search criteria and they will all be applied to the search. You can either add them one by one or add them all in one hit. Settings are preserved when navigating in a list.		List search criteria auto save We pushed it a little bit further. For every list in the support area, your search criteria and ordering are preserved. Thus, the next time you access the list, it comes back in the same state as when you left it. You can always click on Default to reset the list to its default settings.

Subscribers Find everything in regards to your subscription at once place. From the support area Dashboard Subscribers option, you can get the entire status about your subscription, your corporate profile, when it expires and direct link for renewal or to subscribe.		Overview The new version is a slimmed down version of the previous one but more powerful. We cleaned up content which was no longer used. We made it simpler to offer an easy interface for newcomers. Many settings are no longer needed and have been removed or discountinued.
