Hello Askville!
As we come to the end of yet another year on the 'ville, the team would like to take this opportunity to thank all our members, especially our long-standing regulars (5 years, some of you!), who have been such a vital part of our community.
At this time, we'd like to take this opportunity to not only voice our appreciation for everyone's support, but also announce that we are ending the year with a bang! After hearing your input and feedback on how much this would positively impact your Askville experience... we now have the ability to share questions via user name!
*waiting for cheers and applause* :) But I'll take sighs of relief and "about time!"'s as well. :)
You'll notice on the top right of a question page, next to the question itself, there is now a 4th icon in the "Share this question"" box. Yes, one of those little avatar-less heads that we are all so used to seeing! But clicking on that will allow you to share a question with anyone on Askville - as long as you know at least the first 3 letters of the user name! Please take care to confirm the exact spelling - sometimes people use numbers instead of letters.
Note: Please be patient if you don't see this right away - we are just now pushing it live so just refresh your page every few minutes till it appears!
On that note - here's wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season! Be safe, stay warm, eat as much good food as you like, and tell your loved ones how much you love them!
Warmest wishes and lots of good thoughts -
Genelle
on behalf of the Askville team
