New updates: More control…
November 14th, 2007 by Ow Choong Seong

We have been hard at work adding new features to Pacmee these last couple of weeks. And finally today, we are proud to announce that these new features have finally ‘graduated’ from our internal alpha test.

Direct Messages

We have given more control over direct messages to you, our users. Now, you can select how you want to be contacted via direct messages on the phone as well as how the direct messages to you will be displayed on our website.

To get there:

  1. Select MySettings from the menu at the top.

  2. Select the “Privacy” tab. The new options are there.

Featured Users 

Our featured users section have also received some new updates. Featured users are now divided in to 2 categories: Featured persons and featured communities. We have also added some AJAX magic to make the featured users’ profile a little bit more eye catching.

Posting Shoutouts

Our more keen users would have noticed that recently we’ve allowed much longer shoutouts (ie shoutouts over 2 sms) but our site have yet to be updated to follow suit. Well, we have finally gotten to updating that on our website as well and now you can send long shoutouts from the web as well.

Speaking of shoutouts, we have also updated our characters left counter in the post shoutout page to support unicode characters. Now when you are posting in Chinese the characters counter will accurately show how many characters are left.

Look and Feel

We also made minor changes to the look and feel of our site mainly to the login section as well as the menu you see at the top of each page.

That’s all for now. Another set of new features are being worked on this very moment. Be prepared to be amazed in the near future. Meanwhile, feel free to drop your comments here. We at Pacmee would love to hear what you guys have to say.
