We’ve Listened To You.
Thank you. It is with your comments & feedback that we are pleased to announce a fresh Barkles just released today.
For the last month we have been reworking our core platform to allow for many items that have been requested including Edit, Topics & better Tracking buttons to name a few.
So What’s New?
One of the first things you will notice on Barkles is the fresh redesign.
Many users mentioned our previous lovely simple and clean design, with a few honestly noting that it was a little ‘plain’ (Thank you for your honesty!). We’ve taken that honest feedback and pushed far away from plain in our latest update by adding the choice of multiple backgrounds while enjoying Barkles. We’ve also refreshed the layout and cleaned up various items around the site.
Topics Take Center Stage
The Barkles redesign focuses around Topics. The Topic boxes on the home page allow a user (logged in our logged out) to follow Dogfights in topics that interest them.
We have taken special care to keep Topics as simple as possible; So at any time you can search for a Topic by adding it to your home page or by going directly to Barkles.com/topics/ANYTOPIC (e.g. Barkles.com/topics/Google, Barkles.com/topics/Movies).
We really appreciate the feedback around topics and will continue to develop them in the weeks to come.
Edit, Edit & Edit
We’ve had a great amount of requests to allow Editing on Dogfights and Responses. Thank you to all those who requested and made it one of the hottest items in our list! You can now Edit any Dogfight and Response by hovering over the text and clicking the Edit button. To keep the system fair (and to avoid Edit button abuse) the Edit function is disabled once someone has added a Response/Reply to that item.
Better Sharing
Those who love sharing Dogfights/Dogtags with their community now have the option with simple sharing buttons. Whenever you see the buttons, click Share (Facebook) and Tweet (Twitter) to share that item.
Tracking
Tracking is a new addition to keep better tabs on the Dogfights that interest you. If you find a Dogfight you would like to keep track of, simply click the Track button on the Dogfight. This will do two things:
- It will add the Dogfight to your Tracking box on the Home page for quick access.
- You will receive an email once someone adds a response to that Dogfight. (You can adjust your email notifications in Settings).
If you decide you no longer wish to keep track of a Dogfight, simply go to the Dogfight page and click Stop Track.
The Bigger Picture
While we have only just launched the redesigned version of Barkles, there are many things coming in the future that will expand the platform like nothing before. We will continue to listen to your great feedback and develop Barkles to allow for even more incredible questions and opinions.Thanks for following our progress.
