You can now let your visitors authorize via your Facebook, Twitter or other social networking accounts. This means that website owners can significantly ease the authorization process for users who already have accounts with these extremely popular social networking sites.
Users who are already registered on any of: Facebook, Twitter, Livejournal, Google, Liveinternet, or Blogger do not need to enter their personal data. Simply by choosing a social networking service where they have an account, users can 'request' that a personal account be created for them using the data from the social networking site. Easier registration and authorization means more registered users, a feature that is especially important to internet stores, where convenience is often the difference between profit and loss. |

The message editorin Blogs and Forums now support BBCode. This is a convenient supplement to the visual text editor, and all of the editor's functions are available in both regimes. The BBCode button toggles between the two modes. |
Major development has been carried out in Blogs and Forums. A new rating system for individual ratings (influence, karma, popularity) has been added to strengthen online communities. The system is based on a two-factor rating method conceived and designed by Bitrix that is adaptable according to the policies of your website or web community you develope.
Now community members can evaluate any posts in blogs or forums as well as comments. The results of these ratings and the activity of a given user are factored into the overall rating of the user.
To test out fully the improvements of the editor, for example, you can easily insert a simple table or create a list, numerical or non-numerical. Then format the text not only with the buttons on the toolbar, but using hot-keys (Ctrl + B, Ctrl + I, Ctrl + U, Ctrl + Q, Tab) - as you like. Embed pictures and videos in the post, and use the convenient secondary dialog box to manage objects which you are using in the post. Another nice feature is that now the area for writing posts has become elastic to up to 80% of screen height, either manually or automatically. Lastly, the editor supports all popular browsers.
