What We're Working On This Week Stuck

As I promised, I'm going to use my blog to keep you up to date with what is happening behind the scenes here at OS.

Firstly, I want to thank everyone for making the first week of OS Arena an extremely successful one. As expected we had quite a few bugs at launch (some still remain) but thanks to the support and enthusiasm shown by everyone the launch went off like a dream.

This week, we're hoping to be able to add a few new things to OS Arena. They include:

Overall Update Button - I have to apologize about this one as I had originally promised it would be available last week. A few important bugs came up that stopped it from getting completed. For those of you who do not know what it is, the Overall Update Button will allow you to update your OVR whenever you desire. For information on how your OVR works you should read this blog post and also check out the FAQ on "My Card" page.

Advanced Scouting Reports - Currently everyone has a Scouting Report on their main arena page designed to show you your last eight activities on OS. This week we plan to add the ability for you to track your friends' activities as well as see a complete list of archived activities. We'll also be including filters that allow you define what type of activities you want to keep track of. For example, if you just want to see blog updates from your friends then all you need to do is check the "Blog Updates" option.

Blog Comments in Notifications Area - We've had a number of requests to add a notification for whenever you receive a comment to one of your blog posts. As well as adding this, we'll also be displaying all blog comments on your Chalkboard allowing you and your visitors to see all of the comments you've received in one location.

Chalkboard Quote Option - A number of people (Steve in particular

) have mentioned that when a conversation is carried out from one chalkboard to another it can often become very confusing for an outsider to understand what is being talked about. To resolve this we plan to add a quote option to Chalkboard replies that when checked will display a quoted version of the original comment in the reply.

Do you have something in particular you'd like to see added to your Arena? Let me here about it by commenting on this blog post.

I don't know how hard this is to do, but is there anyway you can make that an option?

Thanks for all the hard work.
