Community Editors have a new tool to read subscription settings.  Now community editors will be able to see what their community members’ subscriptions settings are. In that manner they will know who in the community is receiving immediate notifications and who is not. This is vital for, say, a state ACDA president who has an important message for the state membership. If they have 4-5 persons whose subscriptions are not set for individual emails, they then have the option of sending those persons direct messages via normal ChoralNet mail – clicking their name and sending them a message.

Community Editors can edit posts. In the days of email lists, editing a post by a subscriber was considered to be censorship. But with communities being increasingly used as replacements for websites and print newsletters, editors need to have the ability to make changes when a typographical error or similar submission errors occur. So we have given them that ability.

Community Editors can re-order the items on the left sidebar of the community.  One thing we know for certain, each community has its own personality and needs. One size does not fit all. I personally run three different communities and have different priorities for each. Some communities may wish their Members list to be easily accessible and so want it at the top of the left sidebar. Others may want the Library or Tagged Items more visible.  Now editors can change these at will.
