The following product changes were introduced in Release 15:

• Site administrators can now determine who can add comments to their site by using the Administrator Settings page, found under Site Settings.
• The following options are available:
  • Administrators and members can comment.
  • Administrators, members, and guests can comment.

• You can save your search criteria and share it with others by clicking on the 'Link to this page' link. It will generate a URL that you can post anywhere on your site.
• Search results can now be viewed in either a List or Thumbnail view. You can also select the size of the thumbnails.

• Prior to this release, when you joined a site, your personal preferences were automatically set to the default settings (i.e. Display personal information, Daily Site Notifications, etc.). To change the settings, you would have to go to the My Memberships page.
• Now, when you visit a myfamily.com site for the first time, a screen will appear that allows you to set your nickname, choose your notification preferences and determine whether or not to display your email address, mailing address, phone number or birth date.

• Before, only site administrators could remove people from sites. You can now remove yourself from a myfamily.com site by going to the My Memberships page and clicking on the "Remove me from this site" link for the site you'd like to be removed from.
• Before, if you were the last site administrator of a free myfamily.com site, you could not remove yourself from that site. Now you can, and removing yourself from the site will also delete that site.
• If you are the last site administrator of a paid myfamily.com site, you will need to contact Customer Support to delete your site.

• When you view a single photo from an album of photos, you'll now get additional album details. This includes the album name and links to start the slideshow, set the photo as the album cover and remove the photo from the album.
• You can now add a photo to an album straight from the single photo view page by clicking on the "Add to album" link under Photo Options. Before, you could only add photos to an album from the All Photos page.
• All site administrators and members can now add photos to any album on the site. Before, the only people who could add a photo to an album were site administrators and the person who created the album.

• The options that used to appear below an item on the single item view page have been moved to the right side of the screen to increase their visibility to users.
• When viewing a single item, the avatar of the person who added it is now also displayed. If you click on that avatar or name, you'll be taken to a search results page that shows you all the items of that type added by that person. This works for photos, videos, discussions, SnapGenies and files.

• When adding photos, videos and files to your myfamily.com site, the 'Upload' button is now always active. Before, this button was disabled until the user had chosen content to upload. Periodically, the button would remain disabled even after content was selected, so we changed it to always keep it active. If you click on the active 'Upload' button without selecting anything to upload, you'll simply get a message telling you that no content has been selected.

• If you click on a comment in the What's New section, you will be taken directly to that comment's location in the comment list, rather than top. If that item has a lot of comments, it was often difficult to find the one you clicked on in the What's New section.
• When you visit the What's New page, the 'Show All' filter is now the default, rather than 'Show New' because most users were switching to 'Show All' upon landing on the What's New page.

• Improved performance and accuracy of the previous/next links when viewing single items

The following product changes were introduced in Release 14:

• Site administrators can now select which user types can invite people to the site by using the Administrator Settings page, found under Site Settings.
• The following options are available:
  • Only administrators can send invitations
  • Administrators and members can send invitations
  • Administrators, members and guests can send invitations

• Clicking on any tag will take you to a page that displays all content items on that site that contain the same tag.
• Modify your search results by using the following filters:
  • Display specific item types
  • Display items added by specific members
  • Search for multiple tags

• If you have created more than one myfamily.com username with a single email address, you will see a message appear on the start page that contains a link to request a list of these usernames.
• The email will contain all of the usernames associated with your email address, as well as a list of all the myfamily.com sites your usernames belong to and links to change your usernames and/or the passwords associated with them.

• By checking the 'Remember Me' box when signing in to myfamily.com, you will automatically be logged in with that username and password the next time you visit the site, so long as you do not sign out.
• Leaving the 'Remember Me' box unchecked will require that you log into your account again the next time you visit myfamily.com.

• Upgraded text editor used in discussions and comments to resolve various bugs that had been reported.

The following product changes were introduced in Release 13:

• Added upload allowance status bar that shows how much you've uploaded to each of your sites.
• Each member of a myfamily.com Free Site can upload 100 MB of photos, videos and files to each of their sites each month.
• Each member of a myfamily.com Essentials Site can upload 1 GB of photos, videos and files to that site each month.
• Allowances are reset on the 1st of every month.

• Organize your photos, albums, videos, discussions, SnapGenies and files by adding tags.
• Adding tags to the items on your site makes them more organized and easier to find.
• In a future release, we will provide functionality to search for tags on your site.

• If you have albums on your site, you can now access them more easily. Clicking on the Photos tab now takes you directly to the All Albums page rather than the All Photos page.
• The All Photos album takes you to all the photos on your site.
• If you don't have albums on your site, clicking on the Photos tab will continue taking you to the All Photos page.

• We've redesigned our Start page to provide you with better information about your account and to serve as a portal into your multiple myfamily.com sites.
• The new Start page also makes it very clear who you're logged in as. This will be especially helpful for those of you who share the same computer.
• Now, when you log into myfamily.com, you'll be taken to the new Start page where you can select which of your myfamily.com sites you want to go to.

The following product changes were introduced in Release 12:

• You can now upgrade any of your Free Sites to Essentials Sites.
• Essentials Sites feature everything found in Free Sites, plus:
  • No advertisements
  • 1 GB monthly upload allowance for each site member
  • All items on the site remain active & instantly available
  • Access to our complete library of professionally designed site themes
  • Custom Theme Builder for creating your own custom site themes

• Administrators now have one single location on their myfamily.com site to manage all site settings.
• Settings that can be edited from this page include Site Name, Welcome Message, Site Type, Site Theme and Public Page Settings.

• Public Pages can be used to display some information about your family and your myfamily.com site. These pages can be viewed by anyone on the Internet but your site remains private and only viewable by the people who are members of it.
• Site administrators have complete control over whether or not they want a Public Page and what will be displayed on it.
• If you'd like, you can also allow people to "Request Membership" to your site from your Public Page. Site administrators decide which requests to approve or deny.

           

• You can now determine the width of your myfamily.com site in the Custom Theme Builder, as well as set it to a fixed width or allow it to stretch with your browser window.

• We updated some of the pages on our web site to make them a bit more attractive and provide more information on what myfamily.com is all about.
  

The following product changes were introduced in Release 11:

• Administrators can now add a background image to the pages on your site.
• They can also change the background image behind their site title and set its alignment.
• Import and Export of your custom themes now include links to your graphics.
• For you theme hunters out there, we’ve also put a few extra themes on our demo site, the McKinney Family Web Site. You can grab them for your own use in the McKinney file cabinet.

• Comments now show up as new items on the What’s New page.
• Items in the What’s New page area on the home page don’t disappear when you’ve viewed them. We just remove the “New” tag.

• You’ve shared your problems with performance when viewing a large collection of photos. With this release, performance on the view all photos page should be notably better.
• We’ve added a member filter to make it easier to find photos contributed by a particular site member.

• We have spent some time cleaning up your membership area under My Account. This will make it much easier for you to add a profile pic, set your nickname, and decide what you want to display to other site members.
