The next big feature is the new Leaderboard which we really think will enhance our community.

The Leaderboard

The new Leaderboard is designed to better highlight our most active members and content based on reputation and other metrics. The Leaderboard will greatly enhance both member and content discovery on our community.

First you will notice the new feature of member leaders based on a specific time frame. In the example above it is set to All Time showing those members with the most reputation overall in the community. It also shows the content with the most reputation for the same timeframe so you get a snapshot of both popular members and popular content in one view.

The Past Leaders tab (example shown above) shows the "winners" of each day in a history. The system counts all reputation made each day and logs the members who had the top reputation counts that day. Using reputation rather than post count encourages our members to post quality of quantity which is really important to any site.

Those who win the day also get a badge on their profile page (see above example screenshot) to highlight that they were the member with the most reputation for a particular day.

Top Members shows you a list of all members sorted by various metrics. By default you will see members sorted by reputation but you can also easily sort by total post content TIWWA-wide or per-app. All of these views can be linked directly to so if we wanted a menu item to show members who post the most files in Downloads, we can just directly link to that sort view.

There are various settings to control the default behavior of the Leaderboard. We can define the default view and how many members to show which is helpful to tailor it to our needs.

We hope you enjoy this initial launch of the new Leaderboard feature. We are excited about the new content and member discovery abilities this offers and look forward to adding new options to the Leaderboard as it continues to develop!

Embeds and Intergration

Our Community Suite allows for integrations with quite a few third party systems and also can embed content from external sites. We have added a whole new list of embed providers where you can just paste in a link to that site and a nice box will show up embedding the content.

You can do that will many popular sites already and we are adding a lot more:

• codepen.io
• coub.com
• deviantart.com
• docs.com
• funnyordie.com
• gettyimages.com
• iFixit.com
• kickstarter.com
• meetup.com
• mixcloud.com
• mix.office.com
• on.aol.com
• reddit.com
• reverbnation.com
• screencast.com
• screenr.com
• slideshare.net
• smugmug.com
• ustream.tv
• Google Maps

Example - you can them just paste in a link to a Google Map location. So when you paste a link to a Google Map in an editor it shows like this:

The maps are also interactive on the screen.

We hope you enjoy all these new additions coming in December.
